THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST (1952)

ANTHONY ASQUITH

Plot

Wilde's classic comedy of manners and mistaken identity is faithfully adapted for the cinema. The sets are authentically Victorian and the acting is top notch, even if the film adds little of cinematic value to this already superb play.
