“The vessel with the pestil has the pellet of the poison, the challice of the pallace is the brew that is true.” One of the best scenes of this 1956 musical spoof, features a court jester who is put up against a fiendish knight. In the first round of mortal combat, they must drink a toast, and this is the mantra he is to remember in order to stay alive.
It is a very entertaining movie, with lots of tongue twisters and clever trickery. Quite a lot of modern comedies mirror this movie. There were a couple slow moments in the film, but for the most part the filmmakers kept us laughing along with the characters. Highly recommended!!!
