Arrgh! Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, Angela Lansbury, a lot of characters who are very bad at their jobs (of piracy, constabulary duties, or military knowledge) in one of the best, yet least-beloved, movie musicals ever.

Well, now I absolutely must watch this! The General's song puts Mary Poppin's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to shame!

I grew up on G&S: one of my very first LPs from my parents (yes, I'm that old...) was an anthology that included songs from "Mikado", "Penzance" and "Pinafore". My sister acted in and brought home the material from *her* favorite G&S "Patience". We missed out on watching the Papp production in the Park, but we all love the YT clips from it, and the movie is tons of fun -- anything with Kline is great on at least one level. You might want to take a look at "Topsy Turvy", which shows us, more or less, how "Mikado" came together. It features Jim Broadbent as Gilbert, and, in a small role, Gollum himself, Andy Serkis.

My brother loves Topsy Turvey. I generally avoid "true story" films so I haven't gone there. But I grew up addicted to the Mikado & Pirates, and like Patience because I am a massive Oscar Wilde fan, as you'll notice if you keep watching my videos. (Please do! I am enjoying your commentary.)

@@paulthomas3247 I'm enjoying your videos and so happy I found them! I love Wilde, too, and was reading him by at least ten years old: "The Selfish Giant", "The Happy Prince", and could quote from the 1952 version from early on - unbeknownst to me, it was my introduction to Joan Greenwood (that and the movie version of "Tom Jones"). I'll definitely be looking for more of your content! (Also, I'd say that "Topsy Turvy" is a fun, touching, sometimes sad ride, with lots of glimpses into life in Victorian England, which is much up my alley. If you ever do want to get into "true history" films, this is a good place to start).

@@melenatorr Many thanks. I kinda threw down my manifesto about true story films in the one about 1776, Braveheart, & Lawrence of Arabia (a contender for my #1 film of all time) so if you want to look, it's out there,
