This latest addition to the Paramount Presents line from Paramount Home Entertainment features newly re-mastered/restored elements that positively reflect upon this wonderful film. The Court Jester is a bygone era classic that remains just as entertaining today thanks to a marvelous ensemble cast, great direction and the superlative talents of star Danny Kaye.

The auditory is clean and free of unwanted clicks, pops or background hiss. The monaural soundtrack is presented in DTS-HD Master Audio lossless and I found it rendered the components of the original recording beautifully. This wonderful cinematic gem looks terrific thanks to a well-executed restoration. With the exception of a few instances where it takes on more emphasis, grain is presented in even layers that provide a satisfyingly filmic texture. Contrast and brightness are balanced well which enliven bright scenes while maintaining an appreciable level of visibility and dimension during darker segments. Blacks are noise free, stable and fairly deep. Resolution is excellent as interior shots of the various locations/dwellings/sets featured in the story offer clarity, detail and dimension that belie the film’s 65-year-old age. Wide angle shots vary in terms of visual depth but, most reveal subtle degrees of refinement and fidelity is never in question. The level of visible detail in facial features, hair and clothing during close-ups is noteworthy. Images onscreen have excellent depth with rendering that draws out plenty of delineation. The restoration is a success that delivers marvelous video quality. For this new restoration, the original negative was scanned at 6K and one of the “separation masters” was also scanned and recombined with the negative scans to address color fading in the negative. Originally released in 1956, The Court Jester was shot in Paramount’s trademark “VistaVision” widescreen format, capturing a grander scope of information on the film negative.

The limited-edition Paramount Presents Blu-ray Disc™ is presented in collectible packaging that includes a foldout image of the film’s theatrical poster, and an interior spread with key movie moments. The Court Jester is a wonderfully entertaining film that is justly deserving of its recognition as a cinematic classic. Basil Rathbone never disappoints and it was fun seeing the like of Angela Lansbury, Glynis Johns, Herbert Rudley, Mildred Natwick, John Carradine and Cecil Parker.įilmmakers Norman Panama, Melvin Frank and director of photography Ray June capture the film’s humor, romance, music and swashbuckling theme via carefully framed images and broad camera strokes enhance its cinematic allure. I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciate the wholesomeness of its story, the superlative talent of its cast, and the amazing comedic chops of Danny Kaye as he pulls of the chuckle inducing switches required by his turn as a hypnotized Giacomo. The Court Jester is bygone era film but, there is no denying its lasting and timeless appeal. I haven’t seen one of his films in a long time and was glad to have this review opportunity. Danny Kaye is such an icon and watching him perform is always a rewarding experience.
#THE COURT JESTER CAST TV#
I grew up watching classic films like The Court Jester in reruns on TV but, somehow never saw this one. Alternating identities at the snap of a finger, between swordplay and wordplay, Kaye’s comic genius shines through. Hawkins infiltrates the court of an evil villain (Basil Rathbone), but when a sorceress hypnotizes him, royal chaos ensues.

The hilariously zany classic The Court Jester, starring the incomparable Danny Kaye, celebrates its 65th anniversary with a brand-new Blu-ray in the Paramount Presents line from Paramount Home Entertainment.ĭanny Kaye portrays the kind-hearted entertainer Hawkins who disguises himself as the legendary king of jesters, Giacomo.
