I think Barrymore is so fun to watch. Topaze gave him the perfect vehicle to ham it up and he did not disappoint. I had such fun watching the film, I forget how little Myrna Loy has to do, but I do recall that she went through a transformation of her feelings for Topaze; from initial pity to friendship and then a couple.<BR/><BR/>Barrymore went through quite a transformation also, rivaling his 1920 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He starts out as a milquetoast school instructor, to dupe in the private sector, to master of his destiny by the last reel. It must've been a fun part to play.kda0121https://www.blogger.com/profile/00790981473899894540noreply@blogger.com
