Topaz

Topaze is a schoolmaster with impeccable civic sense and a modest salary.
He has just been fired for being too honest. Influenced by the examples in front of him, he gradually becomes dishonest and happy to be so.
Under the influence of a woman and an unscrupulous local councillor, he enters the world of business.
Created in 1928, Topaze is Pagnol's first theatrical success. It's a great character comedy, the most classic, the most Moliéresque.
