Dinner@Kismet, then PHFSpresents: The Court Jester, 1965, @theSteamer#10Theatre.

"The traditional musical comedy is often viewed as a light weight confection consisting of some catchy but mundane songs, a ridiculous story and a romance involving a very handsome man and a beautiful but naive woman. Cynophiles often look down their noses at them, with some justification, as fluffy throw-aways of little cinematic value. There are however examples to the contrary, “The Wizard Of Oz”, “Singin’ In The Rain”, “The Bandwagon” (with a fairly sophisticated book) and a few others. “The Court Jester” is different, there is no handsome hero, no beautiful female, instead you get Danny Kaye and Glynnis Johns. The story is a right-on spoof of the 1950’s medieval adventure genre (the classic is “Ivanhoe” with Robert Taylor trying to keep a straight face), many of the songs are clever and the whole enterprise is still funny 70 years later. So don’t give in to your snobby cinematic tendencies if you have any, come see this movie and enjoy a good laugh. Also with Basil Rathbone as the villain (what else?), the inimitable Mildred Natwick and Angela Lansbury, directed by Melvin Frank (“Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House”) who also co-wrote the script.
