Kaye was a dancer and singer, but laughter is what he did best: impersonating and miming, changing adults into grinning children by making faces at them. He often played a disaster-prone, manic clown with good intentions, with volumes of words, accents, attitudes and poses. This DVD is a random collection of fade-in fade-out excerpts of TV skits, some in color, some in B&W. The DVD production is below average - minimal structure, no supporting material - a series of clips. The material samples DK´s rapid-fire fracturing of the English language, double-takes, and his foot stomp when striking a pose (followed by clutching at his leg in mock pain with a dramatic grimace). Some excerpts show his vocal style, charm, and poise; a very little amount of footage shows how graceful a dancer he could be. Recommendations: The DVD is an interesting rental for the DK fan, but disappointing for general viewing. ´White Christmas´ and ´The Court Jester´ are much more entertaining, though in different ways. The PBS video ´Live from Lincoln Center - An Evening with Danny Kaye and the NY Philharmonic´ is a much better example of DK´s charm as he conducts the NY Philharmonic (without music), having fun with ´light classics´ and playing to the audience.. And summed up by saying random collection fade-in fade-out. Currently The Best of Danny Kaye - The Television Years has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
