Régis Castel-Vernac Synopsis:Mr. Topaze was based on a play by Marcel Pagnol, previously filmed twice before with John Barrymore and Fernandel. Peter Sellers stars as a French college professor, known far and wide for his integrity. He refuses to improve a grade on the paper of one student, whose influential father sees to it that Sellers is fired. Cast adrift in the business world, Sellers is hired by a crooked liquor executive (Herbert Lom) to act as 'front' for the benefit of the authorities. When Sellers catches on how much money there is in the business, his honesty evaporates and he becomes as underhanded as the next fellow. The love of Joan Sims enables Sellers to change his ways before his dishonesty can become disastrous. Mr. Topaze was rereleased in 1963 as I Like Money; once again, however, no one wanted to see a 'straight' Peter Sellers in a role that called out for the broad comedy he did so well. Satire. Topaze, an honest teacher in a private school, is dismissed for speaking too frankly to an aristocratic parent. He is hired by a crooked politician who needs a front man to head one of his phoney companies. Topaze, realising he's been conned takes on the authority that is legally his ousting his crooked boss and acquiring his mistress. Based on a play written by Marcel Pagnol. A poor schoolmaster is fired when he refuses to alter a student's report card to satisfy the wealthy parents.
