A feature film starring Danny Kaye
Glynis Johns , Basil Rathbone
Danny Kaye stars as ex-circus clown Hubert Hawkins - alias the Black Fox , alias Giacomo the Court Jester - in this lively musical spoof of a Hollywood swashbuckling film. Among the highlights is a duel with Basil Rathbone as the evil Ravenhurst, an encounter which - like the rest of the film - owes more than a little to The Adventures of Robin Hood.
