This story presents the life of Red Nichols in a truly unique and entertaining way typical of many of the period's better films.

This was very interesting. I enjoyed it very much. I laughed, I cried, remembering all of the stars on his show that are not with us any more and the ones who still are. This is a very good variety show that I remember as though it eas yesterday when it was on TV. I enjoyed it and I hope you will too.

Of all the Danny Kaye movies, this musical biography of the legendary vagabond storyteller is definitely the most poignant, extending the performer's range far beyond his usual comic shtick. It may not be as funny as Wonder Man, but it has so much more going for it. In fact, the film is really more about Kaye than Andersen, providing rare insight into his humanitarian ideals and rapport with children. The Frank Loesser score is beautiful, as is the Technicolor cinematography. Among the songs performed, "Inchworm," "Thumbelina," and "Ugly Duckling" are the standout favorites. --Bill DesowitzMore Info About This DVD Actor(s): Danny Kaye - Farley Granger Director(s): Charles Vidor DVD Release Date: Released the 29 September 1998 THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE.
