Movie Reviews of The Best of Danny Kaye - The Television Years
Movie Review: Includes complete program list (with running times)
Summary: 5 Stars
THE BEST OF DANNY KAYE: THE TELEVISION YEARS was compiled by his daughter Dena from broadcast videotapes of Danny's TV show, which had a four-season run (1963-67) on the CBS network, and from a 1962 one-hour special, "The Danny Kaye Show with Lucille Ball," the first in-color TV appearance for Lucy.
Considering their age, these most entertaining program highlights are in marvelous condition. Nine of the twenty TV clips are in color. Best are a calypso number with Harry Belafonte, an hilarious skit with Harvey Korman, a rousing scat-filled number with Satchmo, Danny and piano performing songs from his beloved children's album and a couple of patter pieces written by Danny's wife, Sylvia Fine. Kaye's talent for accents is featured. (Also included are excerpts of a 1956 motion picture.)
Naysayers aside, if you're a Danny Kaye fan, this 79 minute pastiche is certain to delight. Highest recommendation!
