How could you ever think of saying anything off-colour about Douglas Fairbanks Jr? Swashbuckler SUPREME! He & Errol! Lysander, ummmm...was that not the name of one-half of William H Vanderbilt's famous pair of horses?
I was going to post a totally negative comment on the video because of that ridiculous opening, but had to edit it to comment on Sullivan's atmospheric music. I thought I was the only one who had noticed that ... each operetta is so incredibly distinct musically. Pirates of Penzance is sparkling, Yeomen incredibly romantic, Gondoliers lush and almost sinfully indulgent ... like anything Italian.
