Product Details/SpecificationsActor(s): Danny Kaye Farley Granger Zizi Jeanmaire Joseph Walsh Philip Tonge Recording label: Hbo Home Video EAN: 9781559838450Binding: VHS TapeISBN: 1559838450Publication Date: 1997Format: Color, NTSC, Release Date: 1992-04-01Universal product code (UPC): 026359065033Number of discs: 1Audience rating: NR (Not Rated)Amazon.com 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 Desowitz
