INSPECTOR GENERAL, THE(1949)
Some really great names in this one! Danny Kaye,
Elsa Lanchester, Alan Hale(Sr.) & Gene Lockhart star
in this romp in which most of the cast is related
to each other and corruption abounds!! The
inspector general has been given free hand to
clean up the country! Kaye plays a scam artist
who goes from town to town to sell his potions
that don't work! He becomes mistaken for the
IG!! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I loved it as a kid and i love it even more now.
This is a classic movie about mistaken identity,
which inspired so many later movies. A tramp (Danny
Kaye) is mistaken for the Inspector General by
the corrupt mayor and his equally corrupt officials.
I find Danny Kaye one of the best performers of our
times and he has given one of his best performances
here. Look at him rolling like a dog (a scene so
touching) or imitating a fish in the beginning
or singing 'drink gypsy' later on. An institution
in himself. The movie can be hilarious, very
touching, delightful and thrilling at the same
time. It's a treasure. - agrawalmannu
