The Five Pennies (DVD, 2005)

its my moms all time fav. movie. she cryed when i gave it to her,thanks for all the help,in finding this film, we greatly apricate it.

loved danny kaye. funny movir and heart moving. something to wacth with the whole family. we need more movies like this.

Everything went well...my choice turned into a wonderful review of such talented people, the seller did everything right for me to ahieve my goal.

This is one of my favorite movies and one of Danny Kaye's best performances as Loring (Red) Nichols. It is base on the true story of Mr. Nichols life and popularity in the '20's and '30's music era. The songs (many of them written by Kaye's wife, Sylvia Fine) is delightful and heartwarming. Appearances by Louis Armstrong add so much to story and his character is as lovable on film as he was in real life. Barbara Bel Geddes seems almost unchanged from her "Dallas" days as the Ewing family matriarch and gives a touching performance portraying Nichol's wife.

I highly recommend "The Five Pennies" to anyone who loves tight, harmonizing vocals, ragtime jazz and or just a "feel good" movie. It is well worth the money and a film you will enjoy again and again.

I am a very sentimental guy and the story line can reflect on the effect of a family life in persuit of a careet. I just love the music.

This movie is an old classic. Good music and down to earth acting. If you like old movies with a good plot then you will like this one.

I enjoy Danny Kaye movies and this is one of my favorites. I've been looking for this movie for a bit now. And I couldn't beat the price.

I have a feeling this story is more Kaye than Nichols, yet it is a very good movie. I am a little sad that I was not old enough during Danny Kaye's lifetime to appreciate what a great talent he was. His comedic wit adds a lot to this biography.

This is a movie I recommend anyone to see of all ages. I saw this when I was a child and am 61 now. This movie has always made an impression on me and I enjoyed it as much now as I did then and so has my fmily. I rented it from Netflix and wanted it so I went on E-bay to see if I could fine it. You know what they say about E-bay. If you can't find it on E-bay it doesn't exist.

This is one of those "by chance" movies I watched while staying with my wife in the hospital after the birth of our first child. One of the channels was running a Danny Kaye mar-a-thon and i sat and watched every minute of it ! Butof all the films I think this one was my favorite of his work mostly because it is jammed packed with lot of great music and stars ! Gleen miller,bennny goodman, and bob crosby (bings brother) just to name a few ! Great movie to have in your family collection..It speaks volumes about how loving your family and following dream can find a place together in life. My 16 year old son who thinks he the coolest thing to hit this earth since elvis even sat through the whole thing (he plays trumpet in the high school band) and afterwards I even got a "good movie choice dad" after waking up from the heartattack my son have given me with the complement (just kidding) I called ripleys to give him the news..because it seems alothough the music didnt Beep or Boop swing and jive is still alive in amercia's youth ! thank you Danny Kaye for your wonderful talent whereever you are ! the music will live on in our hearts and souls forever !

This movie is excellent for all ages to enjoy! It's also music history. Danny Kaye is marvelous as Red Nichols. This movie has always been one of my favorites.

Great movie with lots of good music. Saw this many years ago when I was a kid and always remembered it. Never thought I would find it on a dvd, but Ebay had ot waiting for me...
