This movie is one of the very few that I've purchased on DVD without seeing it prior. It was $4 (FOUR!) and I got it and I loved it. So great. The performance of The Mikado is so enjoyable.
It was because of TOPSY-TURVY that I insisted on referring to Winterbottom's TRISTRAM SHANDY as "A COCK-AND-A-BULL STORY" rather than the listed title. Almost none of my friends got the reference. Oh well.
KC~~~ no way you'd find the DVD for 4 bucks in the states. It's currently out of print and is going for formidable prices on eBay.

One of Leigh's best. And the two leads at their finest. The Mikado, with Timothy Spall! Too many fun times to remember!

Sean, Mike Leigh's Oscar-winning Topsy-Turvy.

Happy we can call it an Oscar-winner too.

Ouch. $4 here equals something like $3 in America, too.
I love, love, love Topsy-Turvy. I wish Leigh would make another film with musical numbers.
