Danny Kaye Rocks

[Madame Pandora]

Beat this with a stick:

Okay, I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle - the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?

No, there's been a change. They broke the chalice from the palace.

They broke the chalice from the palace?

And they replaced it with a flagon.

A flagon?

With the figure of a dragon.

A flagon with a dragon?

Right.

So is the pellet with the poison still in the vessel with the pestle?

No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon. The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!

So, the pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon. The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true?

Right! Just remember that.

I like him, pretty damn funny...

Life could not better be....

"I'm the king of Jesters, and Jester to the King."

I want a T-shirt with that.

Why does this movie NEVER get old? I swear, I never stop laughing!

[Outlaw]

The Duke, the Duchess and the Doge

Duchess with her dirk?
Oh yes sire, there they were in the dark, the Duke with his dagger, the Doge with his dram and the Duchess with her dirk.


Get it?
Got it.
Good.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Kudos to Basil Rathbone for spoofing himself so well. And the sword fight scenes are not bad, are they? (Neither is Glynnis' cleavage.)

 

[Madame Pandora]

Glynnis was BEAUTIFUL! I STILL cannot ever get over that she is the old fart from The Ref! ("You don't have the balls.") Or the mother from Mary Poppins! (#"Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stuuuupid..."#)

This whole movie is just sublime...start to finish. Watching him flash that baby's butt reduces me to giggling tears.

I mean - it's got everything! Singing, dancing, slapstick, sword fighting, words with a "k", midgets...the list is endless!

“She says no.”

”What took her so long?”

“She stutters.”

[Outlaw]

No butcher no baker no candlestick maker,
And me with the look of a fine undertaker
Impressed her,
As a jester?

 

[Madame Pandora]

"You spent some time in the Italian court?"

"Why, yes. What better place to court Italians?"

Just don't snap your fingers. Get it?

Got it.

Good.

MP: I own a Danny Kaye jacket (from his TV show). I put it on and I start singing very quicky in Russian, it's the strangest thing.

Who's Breckenridge?

My father, sire.

Sorry to interrupt, but what movie are you talking about?

You should have seen my Russian dancing when I did "Fiddler". Man, was that a killer on the calves!

 

[Outlaw]

He never walks when he can leap!
He never flees when he can fight!!

Twigs?
Speak not of twigs when you look at an oak!
Until tonight, my little sapling....

 

[Madame Pandora]

Visual image from hell...LMAO

Thanks, MP. I will soon have some free time, so I think I will.

The Literotica version of "Fiddler". I can see it now. We open with Woody onstage singing the opening number:

"Litigation!"
