Topsy-Turvy is about two popular and famous partners, Gilbert and Sullivan, who produced 14 comic operettas between 1871-1896.

This film takes a closer look behind the scenes, and gave me quite a history lesson, with lots of dialogue and details. The whole cast, I thought, did an outstanding job.

The first half of the film is a bit slow, but it picks up speed as it progresses.

This is solid, entertaining film making, and well worth seeing.

Quite possibly the best film about theater ever made--a movie that takes you through the paces, from inception to production of the Mikado by Gilbert & Sullivan.

It's lush, lavish, and just plain grand. If you love the theater, you'll love this movie.

Topsy-Turvy is the story of a moneymaking partnership that nearly parted ways in 1884.

The director has staged important and meaningful portions of Gilbert & Sullivan's famous comic operettas.

This production has produced a narrative feature based on real events and historical figures.

I liked the way this movie takes us behind the scenes, with some episodes being highly amusing. It has a slow, sluggish start, but in the end the film recreates the development of the operetta, The Mikado, which was a success and saved Gilbert & Sullivan's careers.
