Hans Christian Andersen (1952) no two people

[cmulwee001]

Hey scrutmonkey what happens after this in the film? Does "No Two People" segue into another song? It's been 20 years since I've seen this movie.

I believe this part of the film was a dream sequence, correct?

[meowzhappyface]

when i was young i used to want this to be sung at my wedding, not much has changed!

[issiteasy1]

Zizi Jeanmaire a french singer/ ballet dancer was the singer with him here. (Taken from WIKI.)

[DivinaM1105]

i always loved this movie too bad i CANT FIND IT ON DVD IF SOMEONE CAN TELL ME WHERE I CAN GET I WILL BE GRATEFUL 

[gunbuck7]

@DivinaM1105 Netflix has it

[gunbuck7]

Beautiful! I never knew he was married!

[AlbinoTanuki]

I call bullshit. Hans Christian Andersen was gay. In fact, the inspiration behind "The Little Mermaid" actually came as a love letter to his former boyfriend, Edvard Collin. Thats right, everyone's favorite Danish storyteller was gay.

[superceci88]

She is french!

[number1kinksfan]

Hans totally owned that wife beating clown :)

[CaramelJamaicanGyal]

Do you think you could post the clip when he sings "anywhere i wander"? I can't find it and that part makes my soul quiver!

[GreenMaven1]

The bride has a French accent..

[ricogoldstar]

AWESOME see through wedding dress! I want my bride to wear that to the Honeymoon, BOinnnggggg!!

[hitlerinspace]

Michael Jackson's favorite movie.

[hitlerinspace]

What a fruit.

Isn't this around the time our bullshit government was telling us to hide under our desks for safety when the 'bomb' drops.

Where's the token black actor ..er...uh.. oh yeah, I forgot why all of you like the film so much.

I think that freewhelinfrank dude is right - That Andersen sure did like dolls & kids a bit too much.

[chaoscleaner]

@hitlerinspace: Fear breeds contempt. You fear what you don't understand. You and Freewhelin should take your homophobic selves (hand and hand) down the yellow brick road.

You said - "Where's the token black actor ..er...uh.. oh yeah, I forgot why all of you like the film so much."

Huh? Oh please DO tell us why we like the film so much. LOL

[101itsumo]

could someone plz post the whole movie...? I'd like to see it entirely.

Danny Kaye was such a wonderful actor, I love his movies...

[101itsumo]

could someone post the whole movie plz....?I would love to see it entirely

[FreewheelinPhrank]

Straight up quote from Wikipedia .. " In recent times some literary studies have speculated about the homoerotic camouflage in Andersen's works".

[chaoscleaner]

@FreewheelinPhrank What's your point?

First, Wikipedia is not the end all, be all for information; You do know that, don't you?

Second, Danny was quite known for liking the girls a lot.

You seem to have an odd fascination in the area of homosexuality and pedophiles . Maybe you should look in the mirror?

[pris613]

What a lovely clip. Too bad real life is rarely like this.

[fjccommish]

@pris613 This is a dream Hans is having about the ballerina. She doesn't love him, but he thinks she does. It is based on real life infatuations HCA had with a ballerina and a male ballet dancer.

[nancyfloressantos]

A treasure!

[littleamoeba]

that dress was VERY see through.. you could see her ass and thighs i swear

[chaoscleaner]

@littleamoeba: Her ass is covered with a leotard and seeing thighs...wow, how tragic.

Apparently you've never been to the ballet, eh?

[littleamoeba]

@chaoscleaner no, i have, i just wouldn't have expected it from something on screen . they were usually more reserved weren't they?

[chaoscleaner]

@littleamoeba Bless your heart. I don't consider bare legs (and actually they weren't) to be objectionable in any way. This film followed th 19820;s, with it;s Flappers and short skirts and films that had Flappers in them. No one died from it. [g]

[Beccathepromomami]

I love the parts just before this when she steps through the store front into her gown and he into his suit! So charming...

[lkijju]

Danny Kaye was an amazing talent.

[jewish1972]

is the bride german?, she has a pretty remarkable german accent

[scrutmonkey81]

I have no idea I'm afraid. I always thought she was when I was little lol

[drummergirl1025]

@scrutmonkey81

her french accent is so thick i always thought thought she was speaking spanish :)

[blackpython]

I think she's French.

[applemoon237]

yes I think also french, not german.

[odessa108]

she's French. it's zizi jeanmarie who was a famous ballerina, married to Roland Petit, a famous French choreographer.

[fionaallan]

@jewish1972 i think its french, as her name is zizi jeanmaire :) x

[CaramelJamaicanGyal]

@jewish1972

wow i thought it was a french accent...lol

[chaoscleaner]

@jewish1972: She was born in Paris, France. And it sounds (to me, and probably the rest of the free world) like a French accent.

[tigger481971]

@jewish1972 sound's to me more french ;-)

[jessyquedens]

@jewish1972  No, she was French. Renee (Zizi) Jeanmaire.

[MGAMinc]

@jewish1972 She's a french ballerina named Jeanmarie

[TimeWaster001]

@jewish1972 She's French. The actress herself is French and is a very famous ballerina in real life! :) I always loved this movie and this song is so cute!

[Star2Be5394]

@jewish1972

She's actually French. But I agree; her accent is remarkable.

[GinervaWeasleyPotter]

@jewish1972 her accent sounds french to me

[Trashidy]

@jewish1972 I'm German, I think her accent sounds not German at all, mostly french or something like that.

[DivinaM1105]

@jewish1972 yes she is in the beginning of the credits it says and introducking the famous french ballernia ...... her name i dont remember at the time

[bellaITALIA312]

@jewish1972 i thought she was french

[xoxballerinagirl]

can someone please please please post Zitzi Jeanmarie's ballet performances in this movie? Thanks.

[scrutmonkey81]

I will try and do it if you havent got it yet

[lustre5]

Loved all the musicals my mom took me to see as a child, and this one, at age 9, was at the top of the list! I even played the music on the piano.

[surfcottage]

re your comment al2..... yes, absolutely ,I know things:)

[allertonoff2]

this is a bit..hmm.. 'Doris Day / Rock Hudson' isn't it ?...Loving it ! Great Post ! =D

[havilland18]

@allertonoff2 Doris Day did cover this song but with Donald O'Connor.

[soulsistahmel]

thank,thank, thank you for putting these up.. this brings back so many memories.. I love it

[luvsmovies79]

Can you belive this beautiful dancer Zitzi Jeanmarie still performs in a caberat act. Her husband is a famous choreographer. He created the Carmen ballet for her and its still performed. She performed it w/ Barisnokov (spl).

[VealParmigiana]

Danny Kaye sang exceptionally well in duets. Doris Day recorded the best female part of this song with Donald O'Connor, but I like this version better with Danny singing.

[ticovaldezmd]

Cute.

[Kobberoejohn]

skrutmonkey81 he he

Yes, it is a problem. I learned that during my time as a wireless operator in the marine.

ALWAYS spell a persons name right. Never mind if misspelling in the txt.

[Kobberoejohn]

His name is:

Hans Christian Anders(e)n

[scrutmonkey81]

Yes I have already been told that.Still, you managed to find it so no problem eh

[Toodles1823]

I thank god for the parents keeping the love of these type of movies in their kids lives'. I have seen so many of Danny Kaye's, Jerry Lewis, Bing Crosby's movies, I feel blessed that my mother showed me these.

[Xanatos21]

I first saw this on video in the late 80s. It is a classic!

[JessicaD6661]

brigadune =D

[lkijju]

I'm 59 and was taken by Mum to see this in about 1953 when I was 4. Apparently I was so enthralled by it, I pleaded to be taken again and again. I can see why I loved it so much. God bless the great Danny Kaye. Never been anyone like him.

[DIPITLOWGRL78]

greatest actor ever! any man who can be sweet and make me laugh wins my heart

[freddygotme]

Danny Kaye was so handsome and charming. Or he looked like he was.

[zeldagoblin]

Aww yes. I grew up listening to an LP of Danny Kayes greatest. This was one of them. I think I had a sort of childhood infatuation with him! Good memories xx

[OLATUNJI05]

what childhood memories this brings back!Thanksgiving day in NYC, watching it after the macys parade with my brothers and sisters.Life is sweet..cherrish good memories like this clip!!

[myfirstlovesong]

WPYX every year, I just love it 2 .Too bad they don't show it any more along with The March of the Wooden soliders

[xoxballerinagirl]

Oh! I have a bird that does just the same! I have the VHS at home. I didn't know that you could get this movie on DVD; my VHS is wearing out from watching it so many times!

[scrutmonkey81]

I wore mine out when I was a kid. I just remember fantasising about the coloured pointe shoes and always being disappointed mine were boring coloured. good luck finding it :)

[chloedabell]

My Video wore out too but I still watch it to listen to the audio, but one sweet day I saw it on DVD in HMV!

[xoxballerinagirl]

I love love love this movie! Do you have the first ballet scene when jean-mare (Doral) first meets Danny Kaye?

[scrutmonkey81]

Im afraid I don't have the movie anymore, don't leave dvd's lying around when you have a rabbit that will eat anything!

[Chishannicon]

Thank you so much for posting this scene. It's one of my favorites.

[scrutmonkey81]

a 1950's diva :D

[surfcottage]

I remember this well.... I heard that Danny Kaye was "difficult" !....

[allertonoff]

So Incredibly camp. I Adore it it ! :D

[rabidfangirl777]
