HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: "Topsy Turvy." Apparently an
historically accurate story about a group of fascinating
individuals--Gilbert and Sullivan, their women, their casts and
D'oyly? Carte, impresario of the Savoy Theatre in London. I
didn't recognize any of the actors, but they all did a great job
including the guy who played the Mikado who was a dead ringer for
Divine. Sullivan who was apparently not married was quite a
ladies man and Gilbert who was married was either impotent or gay.
When Sullivan was asked by his mistress in London what he planned
to do the next day after he arrived in Paris, he replied "I'll
go out for some exercise." His exercise turned out to be a
frolic in a brothel.
