The Court Jester (1956)

Comedy / Musical comedy

Clowning Hubert Hawkins dresses up as legendary jester Giacomo but is mistaken for a hired killer. Loads of identity gags and quotes: "The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle, and the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true".
