a gentle and move production and this film take itself much less seriously than topsy turvy . blend both well time comedy and the human drama which sullivan himself so long for in the libretto of his partner and the film take u through the majority of the duo career . only the most pedantic g and s historian will not forgive the mild omission and distortion which be use to move the plot along and and the film manage to work in reference to all but patience and ida and utopia and and grand duke and often in quite clever and entertaining way . the soar music of yeoman and use so poignantly near the end and never fails to bring a tear to my eye . all in all and i would call this one of my favorite film and for it subtle humor and charm and and artistry .
