Way, way back in Episode 12, we looked at Stage Door and All About Eve, a couple of films about the theater industry that had practically no theater in them.

We're going back to that well only only 76 episodes later, with today's look at two films that also deal with stage performers and the things that go into getting something on the boards. But where Part 1 stuck to the United States, this time around we take you to Europe.

Here in the first half we bring you Topsy Turvy (1999), a British film that gives us a (mostly true) account of how Gilbert and Sullivan managed to put together one of their most famous works, The Mikado.

In Part 2 we take on a more Continental flavor with The Clouds of Sils Maria.
