This movie probably doesn't match some of the better known Danny Kaye comedy movies, but it has what I consider to be two of the funniest scenes in any of his movies. The first one is when he is under a table with two men sitting and he has to match hand movements of them with his two hands. Very tricky and requires a lot of synchronization. I am sure that it took a few takes to get it right. The second is when Danny is trying to hide from both the police and spies and gets mixed up in a Russian ballet troupe performing on stage. He goes through a hilarious routine with the ballerina. These two scenes alone make watching this movie worthwhile.
