I love this movie. I think it is one of Danny Kaye's best movies. Where's the DVD? I'd buy it in a minute.

It's my favorite Danny Kaye film too; I never get tired of watching it. Everything about it is great, from S. Z. Sekall's grumpy delicatessen owner to Kaye's stunning ability to write with both hands. It won a much deserved oscar for its special effects which were very good for the time. I wish more people knew about this film, it's a real gem.

I just ordered a brand new region free DVD of this movie from alibris.com. It cost $31, which is probably 2 or 3 times as much as it SHOULD cost, but it's better than getting a used copy from Amazon for an outrageous price like $259 or whatever it is.

Certainly makes one want to eat Potato Salad. I saw this once when I was very young and haven't forgotten it. I just bought the DVD the other day (I was lucky, I got it for a normal price, apparently it's usually sold in the three-digit price range for some odd reason) and it was every bit as good as I remember. I wish anyone else luck with finding it. I found it at a used-book shop.

Hope I'm as lucky in finding one -indiannika!
I saw this movie sixty years ago-Mom took me and my kid brother to see it-
We still laugh when we see it - specially the scene in Prospect park, Brooklyn, when the ghost of Buster's zany brother gets inside his body- I'm laughing even now-remembering it!

I really love this movie!!!
It's one of those classic marvels that can never die.
Every moment something great and unexpected happens. I've never seen Danny Kaye beforenow it's my mission to watch as many of his films as I can. It's funny, he's an inspiration to Bugs Bunny and all those classic cartoons we used to watch.

a great bit is in this movie but many miss it. on the bus when he comes out of his daze and the old lady tell him that this bus is going to brooklyn and he panics and tells the driver "but i dont want to go to brooklyn i dont want to go to brooklyn!" and the bus driver replies "listen pal none of us want to go to brooklyn but we all gotta go sooner or later"
just great stuff and a great film from begining to end, Hollywood just dont have this kind of great storytelling abilitie any more, which is sad. -

Gotta love those one liners, this film which I love is full of 'em. I do love this movie as well, but love "The Court Jester" and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" more though, but both of those are in my "Top 25".
