The throne of England has been taken over by a usurper, and the Fox and his followers are trying to restore the rightful heir to the throne–who is currently still a baby. Kaye plays the former circus performer Hubert Hawkins, who (despite his timidity) has joined a rebel group headed by the Robin Hood-esque outlaw the Black Fox. The plot may sound complicated on paper, but onscreen it has delightful twists and turns. The highlight was certainly the famous “chalice from the palace” sequence, likely based on similarly tongue-twisting old vaudeville routines. And he couldn’t have been given better material to work with than Sylvia’s light-hearted songs and the abundance of witty wordplay. But from the moment he appears onscreen, singing “Life Could Not Better Be” and cavorting with the animated opening credits, Kaye is the heart and soul of the film. This time around Kaye was surrounded by a capable British cast, including Glynis Johns as the attractive rebel captain Maid Jean, Basil Rathbone as the false king’s wiley advisor, Angela Lansbury as a haughty princess, and Robert Middleton as the beefy, villainous Sir Griswold. All in all, the film’s budget went from $2.5 million dollars to $3.7 million, making it the most expensive comedy ever produced at the time. Location shooting was done in Palos Verdes, where its wave-swept coast and rugged cliffs stood in for the shores of medieval England.
