Hans Christian Andersen
(1952)
Country: USA
Synopsis
Hans Christian Andersen announces right from the start that this is a fantasist approach to biography, with only limited nods to the actual life of the celebrated Danish storyteller that gives his name to the project. The film is a musical, starring Danny Kaye as Hans Christian Andersen, a poor shoemaker with a penchant and skill for the telling of tales that eventually leads him from small-town Odense to Copenhagen accompanied by his apprentice, Peter.

7 / 10 A delightful film with Danny Kaye at his best. Joey Walsh was great as the young apprentice and looked good when he stripped down to his braces. The plot flagged a bit during the ballet scenes but there were some famous songs in this film.
