Not all Danny Kaye films have lasted well. In my opinion the two that have are "The Court Jester" and "On The Riviera".
"On the Riviera" is a superbly mounted comedy, with gorgeous Riviera scenery, lavish sets, and some ravishingly beautiful women. The mistaken identity plot is an old one but there great scenes of confusion and some good and sometimes surprisingly suggestive dialogue, unusual for the time especially in a Danny Kaye movie.
Dance routines are imaginative and energetic with some statuesque and eager looking chorus girls. Gwen Verdon does a specialty number.
Thoroughly enjoyable, it stands up to repeat viewing.
