Does this version have English subtitles? And--
And, in addition to my question about English subtitles in the caption header -- in the 1933 Barrymore & Loy version, Topaze is changed to a chemistry teacher and the product sold is "Sparkling Topaze" a health-inducing water that's really only tap water. But in Pagnol's play, the product Topaze was to "front" was motorized street sweepers.
I would imagine Pagnol as film director would stick closer to the plot in his play. Does he? And what changes does he make in this movie from his play?
ALSO, has anyone seen both the Barrymore/Loy version AND this? How would you compare them?
