One of the most interesting aspects of watching comedies on YouTube is the preservation of eras that mainstream streaming services often ignore.
Danny Kaye was a human cartoon. In this musical comedy (loosely based on Gogol’s story), he plays a bumbling town crier mistaken for a high-ranking official in a corrupt European village. The set pieces are elaborate, the wordplay is dizzying, and Kaye’s ability to twist his face and tongue simultaneously is a lost art. Perfect for fans of The Court Jester or those who want something clever yet slapstick. comedy movies for free on youtube
