1.The Court Jester [1956] starring: Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Cecil Parker directed by: Melvin Frank, Norman Panama March 12, 2007

One of Danny Kaye's finer hours, this farce stands the test of time pretty well. Kaye was the Jim Carrey of his time - if you don't like his pratfalling style of physical comedy once, you won't ever like it - but even if not a fan of his particular brand of tomfoolery, the verbal patter alone is worth the price of admission. The plot should be brushed over - it's intricate and daft as a good farce should be, revolving around mistaken identities and wooing the girl, and multiple characters up to nefarious deeds. Complications arise when Kaye tries to pretend he is the Jester, and is then hypnotised to believe he is a great swordsman and lover, and changes between identities at the snap of a finger. It is the wonderful script that makes ... Read More:

3.A Touch of Class [1973] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: George Segal, Glenda Jackson, Paul Sorvino, K Callan, Cec Linder directed by: Melvin Frank February 05, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
I love this film for several reasons: Glenda Jackson, witty dialogue, London, and early 70s nostalgia. Jackson is clearly the "class" in this film, delivering intelligently witty barbs with withering English stoicism. She won her second Oscar in a row for this role (her first being for "Women in Love"). George Segal, as her American business executive lover, is a worthy partner, charming, endearingly clumsy, pathetically macho. Yes, it is dated: the clothes, the coifs, the dramatic situation, the novelty of a male secretary, and the novelty of an openly gay man. But for those of us who like to wallow in nostalgia (particularly their own), these things are positives rather than negatives. For those who are not into nostalgia, the well-written script ...
