Me and the Colonel (1958) – DVD | Danny Kaye | Peter Ustinov
An unlikely pair on the run from the Nazis — and from each other. In this touching and witty 1958 comedy-drama, the beloved Danny Kaye stars as Jacobowsky, a resourceful Jewish refugee, who is forced to share a car and a desperate escape route across wartime France with the pompous, anti-Semitic Polish Colonel Prokoszny, played with magnificent bluster by Curt Jurgens. What begins as mutual contempt slowly transforms into something far more human.
Based on the acclaimed Broadway play, Me and the Colonel is a rare dramatic turn for Danny Kaye — funny, poignant, and surprisingly moving. A wonderful collectible DVD for fans of Danny Kaye, classic wartime comedies, and golden age Hollywood cinema.
