Welcome to part two of our discussion of the rollicking 1955 physical comedy classic ‘The Court Jester’. Picking up where part one left off, we reveal who the big winners were amongst our casting choices, as well as some excellent recasting suggestions from listeners. Then we dive into a deeper discussion of the film, focusing on the tone of the original, whether we would want to make a remake a musical, how this movie is delightfully anachronistic (especially when other movies try and fail in this department), and we all revel in the brilliance that is Danny Kaye. Enjoy!
