An excellent film version of a perfect play. Not perfect, but as stage-to-screen adaptations go, it's one of the better ones.

I suppose that you really have to be in the mood for such movies. True that actors are really good, true that Oscar Wilde's dialogues are exquisite and true that Edith Evans' (by the way, check out Bryan Forbes' THE WHISPERERS with this great lady) performance is terrific. Nonetheless, you really have to be in the mood to see and appreciate this kind of film. And I was not. I should have seen a giallo instead.

Beautifully done, impeccable from start to finish. There's nothing in the world like Edith Evans' Lady Bracknell.

Much better than the thick, crass American version of course. The acting is crisp and deadpan; Asquith's direction is theatrical but not stagey.

I saw the new american version of the Importance of Being Earnest starring reese witherspoon, rupert everet, and Colin Firth.. very funny adaption of Oscar wilde play..the singing is hilarious. I wonder if its the same with this Uk version??
