| Summary |
Danny Kaye cuts loose with his trademark musical clowning. Louis Armstrong plays his horn and croons in that famed gargling-granite voice. Big Band icons Bob Crosby, Ray Anthony and Shelly Manne join the fun. And Barbara Bel Geddes (decades before *Dallas*) add to the excellent performances in THE FIVE PENNIES, the success-tempered-with-tears biopic of jazz great Red Nichols (portrayed by Kaye). Nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song ("The Five Pennies") at the **Academy Awards**. Winner of Most Promising Newcomer - Female (Tuesday Weld) and nominated for Best Motion Picture - Musical at the **Golden Globes**. |
