About Topaze
An honest and naive schoolteacher gets a lesson in how the world works outside the classroom, when a rich Baron and his mistress use the teacher's name and outstanding reputation in a crooked business scheme.
Directed by Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast, Topaze leans on a strong ensemble — John Barrymore, Myrna Loy, Reginald Mason — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1933.
