Watched a Danny Kaye film festival in honor of what would have been his hundredth birthday on TCM all day - The pellet with the poison’s in the chalis with the palace... - someone with Kaye’s humility, humanity, and grace would have been so superior to what we’re stuck with for the next four years - but at least as of tonight we do have less than four years to go......
Kaye was a great comedian. He was one of the many who showed it was possible to attain laughs without stooping to crude humor.
I think my favorite film of his is the 1961 WWII comedy/spy thriller “On the Double”

I got it on DVD after it was finally released after 50 years. If someone ever puts it up on youtube, I plan to make it a future MFASA.
