Patience

1982 · 117 min

A witty, tuneful operetta staged with theatrical charm, gently mocking romantic pretension while keeping everything light and playful.

Tagline
An opera by W.S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan
Overview
In a world gone mad with languid ladies and affected gentlemen, the lovesick maidens of Castle Bunthorne forsake their handsome soldier suitors to pursue poet aesthete - and fake - Reginald Bunthorne. But he loves the village milkmaid, Patience, who doesn't like poetry or understand love. When Patience finally learns what love is, it's Reginald's rival she falls for.
