self-congratulation that usual plague the form. Sullivan, a libertine who nevertheless had serious pretensions as a composer, and Gilbert, formal, irascible, and asexual, but a great theatrical pro, are so dissimilar in temperament that they can hardly bear each other's company.

The authentic period stage lighting produces a glow on the painted faces and the fragile beauty of Sullivan'a tunes is memorable when they are played, as they are here, at slower tempos than we are used to hearing. In all, one of the greatest movies about the theatre.

The movie, sponsored by RAAC, will be shown Aug. 11 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre on Gay Street. (Rated R, 160 minutes)
