ARTA SoCal

Social Saturday and Fundraiser

The Court Jester (1955)

Classic comedy starring Danny Kaye in 4 K resolution

Unparalleled timing, physical humor, and witty wordplay. As Hubert Hawkins, a retired carnival performer, Kaye disguises himself as a jester to help overturn an evil plot against a rightful British king. This ridiculous romp is buttressed by a sincere Glynis Johns as Maid Jean and an arch Basil Rathbone as Lord Ravenhurst. With Angela Lansbury, Mildred Natwick, John Carradine. The most expensive comedy ever made at the time, primarily for its lavish sets.
