The Court Jester	comment	This 1956 musical-comedy Farce — written and directed by Norman Panama and Melvin Frank and starring Danny Kaye,Â with a supporting cast that includes Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Cecil Parker, Mildred Natwick, and John Carradine — mercilessly spoofs the conventions of medieval Swashbuckler films of the 1930s through the '50s.The royal family of old England has been wiped out. Roderick the Tyrant has recently usurped the throne as king, and now only an infant boy survives from the true line. The Black Fox and his band of outlaws have sworn to protect the true king, but fate conspires to place the child in greater danger than ever before. When two of the outlaws, Hubert Hawkins and Maid Jean, try to take the child to safety, they somehow wind up within the walls of the usurper's castle. Now they must rely on their wits to keep the child from being discovered and killed.If this were a drama, the odds would be against them. But this is Played for Laughs. The film flopped when it came out, but was later a hit on TV and has come to be embraced as a Cult Classic. This is thanks in no small part to the talents of Danny Kaye, who is about as unlikely an adventure hero as you could get, and the film makes sure to milk every drop of hilarity from that.

The Court Jester / int_1aa30797	comment	Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Maid Jean seems indifferent toward Hawkins at first, and the fact that Hawkins comes off as a bumbling fool, especially compared to the Robin Hood Expy The Black Fox, seems to justify her attitude. When they spend some time alone together, prior to his taking the role of Giacomo the Jester, she confesses her true feelings to Hawkins, saying that she was attracted to his kindness and sensitivity; she is seen glancing longingly at Hawkins as he sings a lullaby to the infant king. She only seems cold and distant because she is focused on the task of overthrowing the usurper Roderick.

Rathbone had been an expert fencer since childhood, but he was twenty years Kaye's senior and couldn't keep up in a couple of the scenes.

When he finally gets it right, they break the chalice from the palace, and bring out the flagon with the dragon to replace it, naturally leading to a Here We Go Again!

The Court Jester / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Court Jester / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Brockhurst mentions early on that Ravenhurst likely fears losing his position as the king's advisor because of the alliance he (Brockhurst), Finsdale and Pertwee want Roderick to make with Griswold. Ravenhurst yells at him that he will die for that, to which Brockhurst replies, "One of us will!", before engaging in a brief sword fight (which Ravenhurst appears to win, before the king breaks it up). Ravenhurst later conspires to have Brockhurst, Finsdale and Pertwee killed off to prevent the alliance from going ahead. The "Outfox The Fox" number at the start makes it out that Hawkins is the Black Fox, only for the real Black Fox to appear once the song is over. He ends up getting mistaken for the Black Fox by Ravenhurst and his associates and they conspire to use him to try and get rid of Griswold. Hawkins says he is surprised that Jean could be in love with him as he isn't a fighter. He becomes an unlikely one by the climax, however, as he ends up being knighted, beats Griswold in mortal combat by sheer dumb luck, and partakes in the climax by fighting against Ravenhurst.

The Court Jester / int_d129e13e	type	"Eureka!" Moment
The Court Jester / int_d129e13e	comment	"Eureka!" Moment: After the secret passage collapses, the Black Fox is informed there is barely enough of an opening for a child. This gives him the idea to use Hawkins's dwarf friends from the carnival to use the passage and attack the castle while he and the others mount a second attack from the outside. The Captain of the Guard is confident that he has seen Hawkins before, as he first realises when he sees Hawkins as Giacomo. When Ravenhurst suspects that Hawkins is The Black Fox, he points out no one would want the alliance with Griswold destroyed more than that "rabble in the forest". This comment leads the Captain of the Guard to have one of these, as he realises he saw Hawkins dressed as an old man with the wine cart, and that Jean was with him.

When a guard asks him why he doesn't have an accent, he replies that he is fluent in many languages and demonstrates it by talking a lot of nonsensical gibberish that sounds very much like French, Italian, and German. (This skill was then known as "double-talk", and Kaye was a famous master of it.) The guard doesn't understand any of this, and Hawkins then states that it means they should get to the castle.

Even more damning is one scene in which even tan lines can be seen on her (from which the aforementioned trope image comes from).
