Editorial Review:
Danny Kaye plays a dual role in this comedy spotlighting his multitude of talents in singing, dancing and physical comedy. Just before he's about to testify against the mob, the fast-living nightclub entertainer Buzzy Bellew is slain. But Buzzy's ghost promptly proceeds to haunt his rather reserved, bookish twin Edwin... until Edwin agrees to take his place on the stage. Hoping to catch those responsible for the killing, the shy librarian not only capably steps into his double's dancing shoes, but also into the arms of Buzzy's fiancée.

Rating: - Wonder Man
Danny Kaye plays two parts; 1) A dead twin brother who is a singer/dancer and 2) his identical book worm brother. The 2 men merge together and causes chaos and perfect comedy with great songs. His love interest is Virginia Mayo.
Rating:  - "As Shakespeare once said - Buster!"
Mostly, I enjoy Danny Kaye. I consider him to be a close second as the funniest redhead in showbiz (do I even have to mention who the funniest one is?). He comes across as this warm and gentle guy with massive comedic and musical gifts who, perhaps, at times, had a penchant for too much mugging (but maybe his writers were to blame). He exhibited a flair for funny facial expressions and for introducing songs rife with glib, rapid-fire double speak and tongue twisters and was also a natural at physical ... Read More
