Was channel surfing and came upon this film. I am not a G&S expert,The print looks like a duplicate. It was copied from a print and not the original negative. Before VCRs it was illegal to own a film, except those where the copyright had expired. People could duplicate and sell these films and show them without having to reimburse the creator of the film. That is why until recently every TV station would show "Its A Wonderful Life". This film looks like a candidate for a restoration if the original negative still exists.
PS in order to make the 10 lines. Did you know Groucho Marx was obsessed with The Mikado. In 1960 he did a TV version in which he played Ko-Ko and his daughter played Peep-Bo
