I had seen a short viewing of this old musical which had been somewhat updated about 40 years ago in New York . The producers had put together an excellent group of artists and the result was 5 Star entertainment.

Absolutely brilliant concept to bring a famous operetta to the masses who would never dreaming of watching something done by opera singers Because you can actually understand the words they are singing, you actually get the humour of Gilbert and Sullivan that you could not hear before. Linda Rondstat is divine, who knew she could sing like that. Brilliant acting by Rex Smith, Kevin Kline and Angela Landsbury. The policeman dance segments are excellent, the major general song brilliant, I could go on and on. So glad to finally get it on DVD instead of my old video copy. I have watched it many times over the years and never tire of it. Beautiful, fun, feel good movie.

The Gilbert and Sullivan music is taken to a higher plane with the characters in this production. The setting of the introduction and finale cleverly encloses the actual musical. Scenery is beautiful, and choreography, especially with the policemen, is brilliant. In all a very joyfully entertaining production.
