Wonder Man
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars I agree
Charging $259 for this DVD is ridiculous. Arsenic and Old Lace sells for $14.99, what’s so special about this one? I love the oldies so I’m interested in purchasing Wonder Man but NOT at this price!
4 Stars Danny Kaye at His Best
I haven’t had a chance to see a lot of Danny Kaye movies over the years. By the time I came around his Hollywood days were pretty much behind him and were replaced by his UNICEF work. The Danny Kaye movies I have seen over the years were often mediocre at best. There were times I could tell he had talent but the scripts and the directors apparently had less. In “Wonder Man” I sat back in appreciation of the wide range of talent he has. His gift for accents and his facial animations were on display and the script and direction seemed to realize that Kaye was the key to the movie. His portrayal of a Russian singer with hayfever was inspired (although I wondered if that would actually work as a nightclub act). My favorite was the first number he did. The mixture of dance, song, and humor made it a great, all around exhibition. The supporting cast was mediocre; this was Kaye’s show from beginning to end. If you’re curious as to what kind of talent Danny Kaye had, “Wonder Man” is the movie to watch.
5 Stars DOES THIS THING REALLY COST $ 259.00
I am shocked to see that Amazon is offering this DVD at the ridiculous price of $259.00. Did any of the previous reviewers pay that amount for this. If you know of any where I can purchase this at a MUCH LOWER price. Please Email me at bkuszak@hotmail.com

5 Stars A true classic
A must have for Danny Kaye fans. This is one where I still laugh the same as the first time I saw it as a kid.
