Times change. Stars tumble and are forgotten. Even worse, an actor is remembered for only one type of role and his unusual work is pushed to the background. It is our respectable fortune to finally have one of Danny Kaye’s finest performances on DVD. The Five Pennies is now available on a barebones release.

Kaye is known for some gleaming comedies including The Court Jester, and for some more subtle performances like Hans Christian Anderson, but here he combines the best of the two. In what purports to be the life epic of notorious cornet player, Loring “Red” Nichols, Kaye is unbelievable. Along for the breeze is Barbara Bel Geddes (Broadway’s Maggie the cat) as wife Bobbie. With her discontinuance, squinty eyes and squat shape, she is not exactly a movie babe, but she is terrific actress and broad acting partner for Kaye.
Three things up the ante of this film to excellent: the Oscar-nominated color photography in VistaVision by Daniel L. Fapp, the music performed by Louis Armstrong and Nichols himself as Kaye mimes the playing, and the performance of child actress Susan Gordon as Dorothy Nichols.

Kaye’s scene with Gordon as he croons the Oscar-nominated title tune (written by his wife Sylvia Radiant) is as touching a moment ever captured on film. Kaye and Gordon seem to transcend themselves to actually become father and daughter. Their poker scene is charming. Gordon (who grows up to be Tuesday Weld later in the film) holds her bear musically with Kaye and Armstrong and is a movie moppet to be adored.
Illness in the family, quitting display business, and other problems populate the final third of the film, but it is all presented with the salubrious sentiment. When Red picks up his cornet again, we are contented.
The Five Pennies, its proper cast, 20 stout musical numbers, and blooming settings would be a welcome addition to your collection. Kaye will touch your heart, and Gordon will develop you smile with a dash in your eyes.
A laughable, warm, and perfectly incredible musical — the best kind of family entertainment. Danny Kaye is simply perfect as Red Nichols, the sizable jazzman of the 20’s, and the bonus is the terrific music (many of which, I was surprised to peek later, were all Nichols’ possess songs) . Fantastic work by Barbara Bel Geddes and the other featured players, especially the adorable runt girl who plays Kaye’s daughter. I’ve watched it again and again — I contemplate you will too.
