The Story Of Gilbert And Sullivan
This film details the real-life partnership between British writer William S. Gilbert (Robert Morley) and composer Arthur Sullivan (Maurice Evans). Although both men became known in their fields, their careers did not truly take off until they began working together regularly under the guidance of savvy theater impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte (Peter Finch). The movie depicts how Gilbert and Sullivan thrived and clashed, on both personal and creative levels.
Critic Reviews:
- " The story is uneventful and the film suffers from an uneasy assortment of comedy styles, but the music and color are wonderful and it's a “must” for all G & S fans. " – Clyde Gilmour
