This little penny is to wish on.
And make your wishes come true.

This little penny is to dream on.
Dream of all you can do.

This little penny is a dancing penny.
See how it glitters and it glows.
Bright as a whistle, light as a thistle.
Quick, quick as a wink - up on it's twinkling toes.

This little penny is to laugh on.
To see that tears never fall.

This this little penny - is the last little penny.
And the most important of all.
For this penny is to love on.
And where love is, heaven is there .

So with just these five pennies,
If they're these Five Pennies.
I'll be a millionaire.
For these Five Pennies are all to love on.
And where love is, heaven is there.
So with just these Five Pennies,
If they're these Five Pennies.
I'll be a millionaire.

Danny Kaye shows off his keen musical sense in the lead role of The Five Pennies, the life story of cornet master Red Nichols--or at least the Hollywood version of Nichols'd life. The movie gets off to a kicky start as Nichols joins a big-city band, meets his future wife (Barbara Bel Geddes), and sits in on a speakeasy session with Louis Armstrong. Armstrong's in the movie a lot, and there are smaller roles for other musical names such as Bob Crosby and Ray Anthony. The tunes include a batch of standards but also new songs written by Sylvia Fine, Danny Kaye's wife and the creator of his signature wordplay routines. The film's main dramatic device--that Nichols eventually sacrifices his career to care for a sick daughter--must be slogged through while the decent jazz sequences come and go. Whether you're a Danny Kaye fan or not, this film emphasizes his very real musical "touch" (in his manner, not his cornet playing; Red Nichols dubbed the horn himself). It also proved Kaye could handle melodrama at least as easily as frantic comedy, and yet this 1959 film was near the end of his run as a movie actor. Director Melville Shavelson, most associated with comedy, does an atmospheric job of staging the jazz numbers, especially in the colorful clubs. This is well-served by a snazzy transfer to DVD--even the opening credits are a treat, a cool example of late-1950s graphic design.
