Movie Reviews of The Best of Danny Kaye - The Television Years
Movie Review: random collection fade-in fade-out
Summary: 1 Stars
Danny Kaye starred in his own musical-variety series, "The Danny Kaye Show," for four seasons (1963-67). It won him an Emmy Award in 1963. Kaye was a dancer and singer, but laughter is what he did best: impersonating and miming, changing adults into grinning children by making faces at them. He often played a disaster-prone, manic clown with good intentions, with volumes of words, accents, attitudes and poses. This DVD is a random collection of fade-in fade-out excerpts of TV skits, some in color, some in B&W. The DVD production is below average - minimal structure, no supporting material - a series of clips. The material samples DK's rapid-fire fracturing of the English language, double-takes, and his foot stomp when striking a pose (followed by clutching at his leg in mock pain with a dramatic grimace). Some excerpts show his vocal style, charm, and poise; a very little amount of footage shows how graceful a dancer he could be. Recommendations: The DVD is an interesting rental for the DK fan, but disappointing for general viewing. "White Christmas" and "The Court Jester" are much more entertaining, though in different ways. The PBS video "Live from Lincoln Center - An Evening with Danny Kaye and the NY Philharmonic" is a much better example of DK's charm as he conducts the NY Philharmonic (without music), having fun with "light classics" and playing to the audience.
