SYNOPSIS:
The film casts Danny Kaye as a neurotic American ventriloquist performing in Europe.

In a parody of the 1946 thriller Dead of Night, Kaye is unable to control the words coming out of his dummy, resulting in a near-nervous breakdown. His manager and best friend (David Burns) orders him to see a famous psychiatrist in Zurich. What follows is a zany adventure involving secret weapons, international spies and the beautiful Mai Zetterling. This classic Danny Kaye comedy was written, produced and directed by the great team of Norman Panama and Melvin Frank (The Court Jester).

Evan
KNOCK ON WOOD is a pleasant Danny Kaye picture, although there are few recognizable supporting players.

My biggest issue is the grainy and muddy transfer of this title.
Olive Films has been doing good work on their black & white titles, but for some reason this Technicolor title is only fair quality.
David
Good entry in the spy-comedy genre that utilizes the typical flustered Danny Kaye.
