On Sunday, 20 January, TCM airs Danny Kaye and Basil Rathbone in The Court Jester. If you've never seen it, it's The Adventures of Robin Hood meets The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It's worth watching just for 'the pellet with the poison' bit.

That movie is priceless! And apart from being hilarious, it has some really brilliant fencing scenes.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite movies of all time, and my daughter loves it as well. I believe we discussed the amazing nature of the final dual between Kaye and Rathbone here last year, yes?
ReplyDeleteWe did. I can't wait for my kids to watch it, too.
DeleteMy group has stopped play to watch that scene. It's absolutely hysterical.
ReplyDeleteIt would hard not to!
