The Court Jester

Three Stars: ˜˜˜

This little gem from 1956 isn’t just another musical comedy—it is in fact a brilliant satire on the melodramatic films of the time. Medieval romances were particularly popular and producers took every opportunity to hyperbolize that pageantry, ceremony, and amour. They even got one of the top villainous actors to play the bad guy. Add in a few songs and lots of plot twists and you’re all set for a ridiculously good laugh.
