Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Danny Kaye in a Scene from "Up In Arms"


Actor and comedian Danny Kaye made his first movie in 1944 during World War II. Yes, that was 72 years ago. It was called Up in Arms. Danny played a hypochondriac who gets drafted into the army and makes life miserable for his fellow GIs.

There's a funny scene in the film where Danny goes to see a movie with his friends and while waiting in the lobby, acts out a typical movie musical including the opening titles and credits.

 Enjoy!

    Most of this kind of material was written for him by his wife, Sylvia Fine. See if you can find his explanation of how he bcame a jester, from "The Court Jester". Masterful writing and delivery.
