Danny Kaye: WONDER MAN (2)

I discovered this movie by accident in 1974. I had just seen Cathy Lee Crosby's "Wonder Woman" which had aired as an ABC Movie of the Week. Our independent station in the Twin Cities, WTCN-TV, Channel 11 (now KARE-TV) always ran old movies in the afternoon. When I saw they were running a movie called "Wonder Man", I had to watch thinking it was another superhero flick. I was not disappointed, despite the fact that it was not a superhero movie. It was, in fact, one of the funniest movies I had ever seen (not to mention the fact that I fell madly in love with Vera Ellen).

This is the main musical/dance number from that movie. An incredible performance by both Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen.

Return with us now to the era of Colonel Hogan and Colonel Klink, an open channel "D", Dr. and Mr. Spock and a post-Checkers Tricky Dick. Discuss, reminisce or just enjoy.
