Victor Borge: A Smile Is the Shortest Distance January 6, 2011

Affectionately known as "The Great Dane," Victor Borge was a musician, humorist, and humanitarian. In the nearly 60 years that he lived in the United States, Borge performed on the radio, in films, on television, in opera houses, in sports arenas, and at the White House. Distinctively Danish, his comedy encouraged audience interaction and found humor in the mundane. Victor Borge: A Smile is the Shortest Distance explores and illuminates his life and achievements through photographs, film clips, recordings, and memorabilia from Borge's personal archives.
