Hans Christian Andersen (film)

"Hans Christian Andersen" is a 1952 Hollywood musical film directed by Charles Vidor, with words and music by Frank Loesser. It is a fictionalised, romanticised story revolving around the life of the Danish poet and story-teller Hans Christian Andersen. The title role was played by Danny Kaye.

The film was an international success at the time. It is not a "biographical" movie, and in the introduction describes itself as "a fairytale about the storyteller". A large part of the story is told through song and ballet.
