Hello! You're in for such a treat! Our movie, Topaze, won the 1933 National Board of Review Award for Best Film! This doesn't surprise me at all.
Though in Cinemas 84 years ago, this film really couldn't be more relevant today--as King Solomon said, "There's nothing new under the sun..."
Chock-full of Truth, this ironic and satirical Classic Movie about HONESTY, & INTEGRITY, (or lack there-of) and NAIVETY in ADVERTISING--as well as in the HEARTS of men and women--will entertain and encourage you. You may even find yourself rewinding to be sure you "heard that right"? ;D (yep, you did!)
I've watched this movie several times because it runs the gamut of human experiences and emotions. It somehow makes me feel more connected to generations before who've battled life's many and varied 'curve balls'. I think upon watching this Classic you'll see yourself in one character or another, or having gone through (or are in) one experience or another.
I LOVE the ending........Enjoy!
