Movie Reviews of Gilbert & Sullivan - Patience
Movie Review: Hail Poetry !
Summary: 5 Stars
Patience has long been a G&S favorite of mine. It is the funniest in the entire series, funnier than "The Mikado", and has curiously not been so popular in recent decades. Some speculate because a send-up of the 19th century Aesthetic Movement is meaningless today, but that has never made sense to me. Patience is as timeless as any other, being in fact a satire on the entire culture of celebrities and fandom, and it doesn't miss a single trick. This production is certainly the best on DVD, with stellar performances, most notably by "Reggie & Archie", the two ridiculous poets who dominate the story, and who are extremely well portrayed by David Hobson and Anthony Warlow. Lots of fun.
Summary of Gilbert & Sullivan - Patience
Set in the early 20th century, the aesthetic poet Bunthorne sings his love for Patience, the village milkmaid. Meanwhile he has captured the heart of every other lady in the village. Upon the arrival of the idyllic poet Grosvener, all hell breaks loose when he proposes to Patience....this production has assembled a cast that simply could not be bettered.
