Topsy Turvy (1999)

Written By Daryl Hunt

I originally watched this movie back in 1999. I have been trying to find it on a streaming service but here it is on YouTube. I can’t say how long it will remain so if you have visited here months after I posted this it might be gone.. You can find the complete plot and other information about the movie from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy-Turvy I really enjoyed it and even if you are not a Gilbert & Sullivan fan I think you will enjoy it to.

Topsy-Turvy is a 1999 British musicalperiod drama film written and directed by Mike Leigh, starring Jim Broadbent as W. S. Gilbert and Allan Corduner as Sir Arthur Sullivan, along with Timothy Spall, Lesley Manville and Ron Cook. The story concerns the 15-month period in 1884 and 1885 leading up to the premiere of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. The work explores the creative conflict between playwright and composer, and depicts their decision to continue their partnership, which led to their creation of several more Savoy operas.
