Haha, I wouldn't classify myself as old, I'm 23 years of age now, and was 16 when I made that first post. My tastes are somewhat unusual, but I like to think that this is a reaction to the gradual decline in (popular) artistic talent we have witnessed in the last 20 odd years.

I agree, but I still don't think this is a good movie. It's very silly. I like silly, but I like clever too. That part where Vera-Ellen tapped on her toes was pretty good, though.

This and The Court Jester are my all time favorites. The first time I saw these films, I had tears running down my cheek from laughing so hard. Granted this movie was a bit better than the Court Jester, but both are equally funny

I've just seen this film for the first time. I've never seen Danny Kaye so entertaining as he is in this one. This needs to be shown more often.

I'll be scanning the BBC2 schedules for a repeat of this film. I liked Danny Kaye's Edwin character and his "potato salad." And the park scene.

Cant believe Edwin stood up the elegantly demure Virginia Mayo leaving her alone wearing her frilly apron waitng for him by the phone whilst he tries to fetch potato salad.

I hope that Edwin eventually got his potato salad. With plenty of mayo to go with it.

If this is one of Kaye's best I would hate to see some of his bad films!
It's that man again!!

i think this one is very amusing, but The Court Jester is my favourite.
