It’s not a story of his life, just a fairytale about a spinner of fairy tales.

So the opening written words say to us the very thing that many across the movie forums have failed to spot, namely that they wasn’t going for first tier autobiographical on this! just a celebration of the name and his work is all.

Who better to bring the great Dane to the screen than the ebullient Danny Kaye, his exuberant approach to the topic befits the glorious colour that positively sparkles in every frame of Charles Vidor’s film.

The story tracks the Cobbler Andersen as he leaves his hometown of Odense to seek a new life in the beautiful city of Copenhagen. It is here that he becomes known for his stories that bring about much joy to the children of Denmark – and here that he writes his glorious ballet version of The Little Mermaid. He gets into scrapes, he falls for a pretty girl, and most of all he discovers his vocation in life, this is indeed a delightful fairytale in itself.

Sit back and enjoy The Emperor’s New Clothes, Wonderful Copenhagen, Thumberlina and The Ugly Duckling, and then fall silenct for the 15 minute showing of The Little Mermaid in all its balletic glory. Hans Christian Andersen is a smashingly buoyant film, one that may come wrapped up in treacle for some folk, but for those of us with a sweet filmic tooth then the pleasures are there to be had. 8/10

It’s quite easy to be harsh with this rather fanciful depiction of the life of the eponymous Danish writer. It doesn’t bear much resemblance to the life of the real man, and it’s rather episodic construction really doesn’t help the film flow particularly well at all. That said, however, Danny Kaye and Charles Vidor have clearly had a powerful vision of what they were trying to achieve – and that isn’t a biopic. It’s a colourful and large scale series of fantasies that tug at the heart strings, make you smile, wince and tap your toes – just as the vivid imagination of the author would have had them do. Kaye plays the role in a characterful and engaging manner, depicting well the poverty, optimism and, yes, the chocolate box Denmark too, as the film takes us through synopses of some of the most politically subtle and potent “fairy tales” ever written. More than that, it’s a visual feast with beautifully crafted costumes and scenery – though, the production looks at times, a little stage bound. Of course, to ice this cake, we have a beautiful soundtrack from Frank Loesser with a little help from Messrs. Schubert and Liszt delivering us timelsss standards that are maybe not the most lyrically challenging, but are songs of so many of our childhood’s that show Kaye for the multi talented star that he was. I was not a massive fan of the choreography – I found it too precise and a little sterile at times, but the individual dancers are world class and when the story drifts into his fantasy world and leaves the fables to do the work, this is a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours of escapism.

Farley Granger, RIP
Yesterday would have been Hans Christian Andersen’s 206th birthday, and I just watched Charles Vidor’s musical about the famous Danish storyteller. The movie of course is not a biography but rather a fairy tale interpretation of the man’s life. Danny Kaye plays Andersen, telling stories to schoolchildren while the teacher gets annoyed. Forced out of Odense, Andersen moves to Copenhagen, where he gets a job with the Royal Danish Ballet and falls for one of the dancers.

I saw “Hans Christian Andersen” when I was about six, but only interpreted the scene where he turns his thumb into Thumbelina. Now that I’m old enough to understand the whole thing, I can say that the line “sometimes a king is just a queen with a moustache” sounds as if it refers to a man in drag! Anyway, it’s the sort of movie that might make you say the sorts of things that the characters on “Mystery Science Theater 3000” say, but for the most part it’s pretty enjoyable. Also starring Farley Granger (who died a few days ago) and Zizi Jeanmaire.
