Victor Borge - The Funniest Man In The World DVD

The consummate funnyman, regal and debonair - ridiculously entertaining to the last laugh, Victor Borge was considered the gentle giant of stage comedy for many years, with his unique and timeless blend of musical inspired humour. Holder of the Guinness Book of World Records with his one-man show Comedy in Music (of 849 performances) he remained at the top of his game right up until his death in 2000. Commemorating his 100th birthday this rare and full portrait of the eponymous performer raises a glass to The Great Dane and celebrates his challenging beginnings when he arrived in New York with only a few pennies in his pocket and fewer English words in his vocabulary to the inspiring development of his remarkable piano playing skills. In barely 15 years he forged a show business career like no other and established himself as one of the most sought after and best paid entertainers in America.
