Danny Kaye

Seems to me as if Danny Kaye is almost forgotten these days. Certainly in the UK his films are rarely on TV anymore apart from WC and The Court Jester. Hardly any of his movies are availabe on region 2 DVD either.

Very sad because when I was growing up in the 1980's his films were regularly on TV but people a little younger than myself have never had the chance to see the likes of Up In Arms, Wonderman and Knock On Wood-even The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty and Hans Christian Andersen haven't been on TV for so long.

He is one of the all time greats but literally none of my friends had heard of him-showing people the 'When The Saints Go Marching In' scene with Louis Armstrong is enough to make almost anyone a fan but it's a real shame he doesn't have a higher profile.

Oh you guys suck. I LOVE Danny Kaye and reading all these movie titles makes me want to watch them all again but can't because they're hard to find. Thanks a lot. :/ At least I do have a few on video that I can watch. I'm grateful for that. He's the best! So is Donald O'Connor! Love them!!

Very sad, because when I was growing up in the early 60's I remember his variety show.....

It really is a shame that people can't remember him.
