The Technicolor World of Danny Kaye

David Daniel Kaminsky, born and raised in Brooklyn, became an icon of Hollywood musical comedies during those exuberant, physically charged days following World War II. His multiple talents seemed designed for the explosive color on screen enjoyed by movie lovers of that era. Danny Kaye’s vocal range and body movements seemed tuned to the quickened beat of a fresh American urban scene, and his films became a showcase for his artful physical comedy, pantomimes and tongue-twisting songs. Recapture the 40s Technicolor world, where a rather nerdy guy proved to be the center of FLASH, winning over Virginia Mayo every time! Films will include: Up in Arms (1944), Wonder Man (1945), The Kid from Brooklyn (1946), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947) and A Song is Born (1948).
