Biopic, Historical, Musical/Opera, Complex Relationships

It was fun to revisit Topsy Turvy, a film I watched in college when me and my roommate had a Gilbert and Sullivan phase. We saw a live production (students performed Rudigore) and then watched several film versions of the operettas and this film. It is still a great biopic with memorable performances of the duo. Great visuals and sounds from The Mikado, of course.
