  • One of the singers is Thurl Ravenscroft, the original voice of Tony the Tiger until his death in May of 2005. I recognize his voice.

  • Cool! Thanks!

  • Masters of Nothing!

  • If I recall, this was produced for the DuMont Television Network to inaugurate their color TV service... which sadly never materialized. Reportedly, it was the only feature film ever produced for DuMont. The film was later shown on the NBC network.

  • mad skillz leaping around with a cape like that. meesa wants to try it now. :P

  • ¡A un murciano no se la meten doblá!

  • @altfactor This film was first shown on NBC and then syndicated to local stations. It used to be shown annually on what was then our local CBS affiliate, Channel 5 (WAGA-TV). They have since become Fox and another channel is our CBS affiliate.

  • The jester character is Doodles Weaver! (pulling the string through his head; falling into the mud)

  • Wikipedia says this was a TV special broadcast on NBC in November of 1957.

  • Since nobody had color but NBC in 1957, unless CBS loaned NBC's color equipment, this is almost certainly not a Dumont broadcast. Especially since they ceased to exist as of August 1956.

  • DuMont had left the network business by 1957; so this made-for-TV film was not broadcast "on the DuMont network". It probably was syndicated to local stations.

    Perhaps it aired on the (still owned at the time by) DuMont station in either New York and/or Washington.

  • you didn't know thats what is was about! i knew that for 20 years or so,wizardspocket is right on the money! the people of the medieval times absolutely haited the filthy jews!

  • please tell me you are joking, even though antisemitism is not funny.
