Danny Kaye, Be A Clown

Multimedia impresario Jack Schnur will bring the holiday spirit to the library with clips from films and television featuring Danny Kaye, the irrepressible performer who rose from Catskills comedy to Broadway to Hollywood from the 1930s through the 1960s.

Enjoy his “lightning-lipped” delivery and physical antics in films such as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Court Jester, and White Christmas. Watch TV duets with fellow stars such as Lucille Ball, Harry Belafonte, and Beverly Sills and discover little-known information in interviews with Kaye, his daughter Dena, and others who knew him.
