The Court Jester
1955/12/24 (US) | Music, Adventure, Comedy
We asked Shakespeare and Francis Bacon would they declare which one wrote this and they both said, “Get outta here!”
A hapless carnival performer masquerades as the court jester as part of a plot against a usurper who has overthrown the rightful king of England.
