Oh my giddy auntie Sally, Danny Kaye was my absolute favourite. My favourite film being The Court Jester. I recently sent for the dvd and laugh just as much now as I did when I was a kid. Such clean innocent fun
I always got told off for getting upset about that song. I couldn't bear to think of that cold little duckling, in his lonely clump of weeds. (Or reads?)
I wore my Danny Kaye tee shirt to bed and woke up with the Ugly Duckling.
( My favourite childhood song. I can remember standing on my tippy toes peering in through the grill on the wireless thinking I’d see Danny Kaye in there ?)
