From the Comments ... Kaye was not a Fencer?
Message:
....This is one of my favorite movie swordfights, along with the one from "The Princess Bride". Interestingly, Basil Rathbone was one of the greatest fencers in the world in his prime. Danny Kaye, however, despite having no fencing experience prior to this film, was such a gifted mimic that after only three weeks of training at fencing he was the better fencer, according to Rathbone himself!....
Of course that could have just been a PR Fabrication.
The way I read it, he was the world's greatest Juggler Acrobat.
