My favorite scene from Mike Leigh's "Topsy-Turvy"
1885. Gilbert and Sullivan are in rehearsals for the Mikado, when Gilbert (Jim Broadbent) invites four Japanese guests from a traveling exhibit to watch the proceedings.
Watch for Andy ("my precious!") Serkis!
D'Auban's parting shot is "I haven't laughed so much since my tights caught fire in Harlequin Meets Itchity Witch and the Snitch."

Andy Serkis' motion-capture work here looks _amazingly_ natural. Kudos to him and the animators.

Jim Broadbent's performance in this film is one of my favorite lead performances in a film ever.

@BuckyNugget 7 лет назад

agreed! He's both taskmaster and petulant child.

absolutely brilliant scene from a Superb film. "if he doesn't speak english he's hardly likely to speak italian - Mrs Rutherford! "

This Film is insanely humorous and poignant simultaneously. Been in my top since I worked at a Cinema in 1999 and first saw it!

"Will this take long? I'm to arrange a mazurka at four o'clock." Gosh, I love this film.

Ahh The marvellous Dorothy Atkinson as Miss Jessie Bond. Magnificent

Martin Savage is DYING at that piano with his newspaper. Broadbent is amazing. And the whole issue of “if you speak English loudly enough, everyone can understand it” is a tradition in much of the English speaking world. Broadbent (Gilbert) continuing tor refer to the woman as “Miss Sixpence Please” cracks me up every time.

hahaha... you gotta love the level of respect and disrespect Gilbert shows everyone!

I love this film, and I have it too. I watch it at least once a year. Lots of people have tried to reproduce 'Three Little Maids' on stage, but nothing compares or even comes even close to this. These girls nail it. I love Timothy Spall's performance singing some song about the Emperor and the daughter-in-law elect. He nails it.

i'd love to see the scene where he announces he cuts the mikado song, and all the surrounding backstage talk and collaborative revolt to reinstate his number. some of the best stuff in a truly excellent film.

@Shamborn andy serkis is great in this...I can't tell u how many times I have seen this movie and i never knew it was him

@Lucadance 15 лет назад

I love this movie! I periodically think of this scene and the very funny D'Auban character. An excellent film. Perfect in every way.

@maggiesmith856 4 года назад

It would have been nice if Gilbert had thought to hire a translator. You can see them thinking "The British are weird !"

@malkamusik 16 лет назад

This film is more of an interesting character study of various peoples' lives back in Victorian England, and less a musical. However, the musical performances are excellent!! If you haven't yet, SEE THIS FILM!

As always a great film by Mike Leigh .

@Shamborn I loved Another Year. I notice Jim Broadbent was in both films. It's nice to see actors who have worked repeatedly with Mike Leigh over the years.

@johnerwin981 9 лет назад

a 'great' scene from the movie. Also, the 2 actresses in their dressing room, conversing w/ each other another scene i enjoyed. Thanx again fr th posts from the movie!

@krogdog 16 лет назад

GROSMITH RULES!!! Martin Savage just oozes charisma in this movie!

@tnrc75 15 лет назад

Thank you VERY MUCH! Absolute brilliance.

@georgemonet1888 10 лет назад

But didn't he tell Leelee that this was just low burlesque on the river Thames during the dressing room scene? So is it an original Japanese Opera or low burlesque on the river Thames?

@CarlosEmilioEsq 9 лет назад

That's the funny part. He told his actors whatever he needed to tell them to get them to do as he wanted. It was interesting how he handled them. Some he coddled and was sweet as pie with, others he was firmer and colder to. Great backstage dynamic.

Arthur Sullivan had visited Libertys in London during an exposition by the Japanese and Ms 6 pence please was named after one of the ladies there I have a great tape of this

The Criterion bluray is being released on March 29th!! The cover is truly topsy-turvy, unlike the cover of my current DVD from 1999. It was the first DVD I ever bought

I think the guy dancing around is Andy Serkis (Gollum).

For those of you playing at home and don't understand this comment, you should watch this movie from the beginning so that you can appreciate the set up this becomes a wonderfully understated joke.
