Basil Rathbone was an international level competitive fencer. He commented that Danny Kaye had an astonishing level of natural ability and had he chosen to study fencing seriously he would probably have been an Olympic champion.
@WolfhoundMercenary I've fenced before, and I can tell you that it's a pretty effective tactic when facing an experienced person. They get quite disconcerted. XDDD swish swish swish swish!
Since first seeing this movie about five years ago, I need to watch this fight scene at least once every couple of months. Unbelievably funny. Love Danny Kaye.
Fear GOD who hath power to cast you into HELL(Luke 12:5)! Fear God and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:7)! God is ANGRY with the wicked everyday(Psalm 7:11)! Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved(John 14:6)! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved(John 3:17)! TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT 2 THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST NOW! DON'T BOAST OF HAVING TOMORROW! Proverbs 27:1

Hilariously better choreographed than most sword fights in today's movies.
