Danny Kaye plays the first of his cinematic dual roles in Goldwyn's Wonder Man. Kaye appears as timid librarian Edwin Dingle and Edwin's extroverted twin brother, nightclub entertainer Buzzy Bellew. When Buzzy witnesses a gangland shooting, he himself is rubbed out by mob boss Ten-Grand Jackson (Steve Cochran, in his movie debut). Before long, Edwin is visited by Buzzy's ghost, who persuades his bookish brother to help bring Jackson to justice. For the rest of the film, poor Edwin is possessed

In this quintessential Danny Kaye vehicle, which won the special effects Oscar, the star plays the first of his several screen twins, a shy intellectual and a club entertainer.
Kaye empresta toda sua histriônica energia aos dois personagens que interpreta, compensando a irregularidade do roteiro com sua graça habitual.
Kaye at his most delightful: Potato salad! Prospect Park!
Oh what a comical wit Danny Kaye had!Highly entertaining for all classic lovers! And if you are a fan of slapstick comedy and looney tune characteristic people, this is a movie you have got to see!
July 19, 2010I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I Loved it as a kid and I never get tired of it. Danny Kaye is hilarious and great in it! The songs and performances are top-notch... It's kind of a fantasy about twin brothers that are total opposites. The nightclub singer brother gets killed and then as a ghost begins to contact his bookworm
