Show Notes

This pre-code film is delighhtfully comical while being brutally honest about the corrupt, incestous relationship between, big business, pharmacy, politics, education and commercialism.  John Barrymore gives one his best performances as the naiive Professor Topaze who finds himself a patsy to fraud most foul. This "can't-believe-it-got-made-movie" also stars Myrna Loy as the Honey Trap with a heart as golden as her honey.  Not to be missed or underestimated, "Topaze".
