White Christmas (1954) more movies like this

directed by Michael Curtiz
featuring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, Vera-Ellen, Dean Jagger

White Christmas, Paramount's belated follow-up to the 1942 hit Holiday Inn, was the studio's first VistaVision production. A veritable warehouse full of oldie-but-goodie Irving Berlin tunes are woven into the film's simplistic plotline, along with a handful of new songs, of which "What Can You Do With a General?" is the least memorable. Bing ...

The Five Pennies (1959) more movies like this

directed by Melville Shavelson
featuring Danny Kaye, Barbara Bel Geddes, Louis Armstrong, Harry Guardino, Tuesday Weld, Bob Crosby

The Five Pennies is the life story of influential jazz cornetist Red Nichols, played here by a remarkably straight-faced Danny Kaye. The somewhat romanticized screenplay chronicles Nichols' rise from obscurity, annotates the many future bandleaders who would play with Nichols' "Five Pennies," and details his self-destructive streak and (seeming) ...

Hans Christian Andersen (1952) more movies like this

directed by Charles Vidor
featuring Danny Kaye, Farley Granger, Zizi Jeanmaire, Philip Tonge

Hans Christian Andersen was Sam Goldwyn's final production for RKO Radio release, and also the producer's last Danny Kaye vehicle. The Moss Hart-Myles Connolly screenplay largely disregards the facts concerning Denmark's great storyteller, opting for a fanciful blend of comedy, fantasy, romance and music. As played by Kaye, Hans Christian Andersen ...

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) more movies like this

directed by Norman Z. McLeod
featuring Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo, Boris Karloff, Fay Bainter, Ann Rutherford

James Thurber wasn't too happy with the Sam Goldwyn film adaptation of his 1939 short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but the Technicolor musical comedy proved to be a cash cow at the box office. Danny Kaye stars as Walter, a milquetoast proofreader for a magazine publishing firm. Walter is constitutionally incapable of standing up for ...

The Inspector General (1949) more movies like this

directed by Henry Koster
featuring Danny Kaye, Walter Slezak, Barbara Bates, Elsa Lanchester, Gene Lockhart

The satirical bite of Gogol's play The Government Inspector is dispensed with in favor of traditional Danny Kaye buffoonery in The Inspector General. Kaye plays the illiterate stooge of two-bit medicine-show- entrepreneur Walter Slezak. Abandoned by Slezak, the starving Kaye wanders into a corruption-ridden Russian village, which is all geared up ...

A Song is Born is a musical remake of the 1941 comedy Ball of Fire, with the same producer (Sam Goldwyn) and director (Howard Hawks) at the helm. It will be recalled that the original film, co-scripted by Billy Wilder, was an amusing spin on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," wherein seven pedantic professors, working on a dictionary of slang, ...

Up in Arms (1944) more movies like this

directed by Elliott Nugent
featuring Danny Kaye, Dinah Shore, Dana Andrews, Constance Dowling, Louis Calhern

It is said that producer Sam Goldwyn had a habit of addressing his new star of the 1940s, Danny Kaye, as "Eddie", confusing Kaye with Eddie Cantor. If true, it may be because Kaye's first starring film for Goldwyn, Up in Arms, was a remake of Cantor's Whoopee--which in turn was a musical version of that old theatrical chestnut The Nervous Wreck. ...
