This is the film version of Gilbert and Sullivan's most famous opera. Arthur Sullivan's music and W.S. Gilbert's are very clever and impressive. The comedy is clever and very witty.
The film is photographed in beautiful technicolor and has lavish sets and colorful costumes.
The problem is that after about 30 minutes enough is enough. What played on the stage in the late 1800's is exhausting to watch, the relentless artificially of The Mikado finally wears the viewer down.
Tbe film was unsurprisingly not a success.
91 minutes.
