Angela Lansbury, Danny Kaye--A Buddy By the Name of You, 1964 TV

Angela Lansbury and Danny Kaye compare London and Brooklyn accents in "A Buddy By the Name of You" from 1964 TV. This is two years before her spectacular Broadway success in "Mame".

You've found a lost treasure! These two wonderful talents are terrific together.

Ohhhh, this is wonderful! They're so cute together!

The chemistry of these two artists together is superbly well done. Danny RIP. Thanks for sharing this gem.

Well, if this is an example of total charm, I don't know what is. Kaye and Lansbury show off their star power and have terrific chemistry. They make this number seem effortless but it is extremely complicated going from singing to comedic dialogue, and ending with choreography in counterpoint. The work they put in on the number during the rehearsal period totally pays off in this taping. Of course, they're helped by a great song, witty writing, a sweet concept, nifty choreography, clever costuming, and a swinging musical arrangement. How I miss entertainment such as this. I wish, somehow, someone would release the entire Danny Kaye series.

every thing Danny Kaye did is extremely complicated - high quality entertainment. Hard work.

I would definitely pay for a DVD set of his show. The ma was a genius.

funny

[@murrayporath]

This is all the more poignant in that the theme music to "The Danny Kaye Show" was "Life Couldn't Better Be," the opening (and closing) number of "The Court Jester," starring Danny Kaye, Glynnis Johns, and Angela Lansbury.
"The vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison...."
Get it?
