The story of Topaz - A Very Remarkable Gentleman Indeed was originally written in French by Marcel Panyol in the 1920’s and comes to us in a translation by Ben Levy. Monsieur Topaz is a teacher at a private school for boys in a large French city, a man innocent of mind and heart, and relentlessly honest. However, what happens to his innocence and honesty and to Monsieur Topaz himself when he falls in with the company of rogues - one of them of course who is a beautiful lady - remains to be heard herewith.
