Wissenswertes
The writer and director Anthony Asquith was the son of H.H. Asquith, who, as Home Secretary, brought the charges of immorality which led to Oscar Wilde's imprisonment.

Patzer
The word 'being' is not capitalized in the opening title. However, as the title and acts "cards" are meant to reflect a theater's program, and theater programs are not immune to typographical errors, this should not be considered a Goof; in fact, it may be intentional.

Wildely Funny

This is a tremendous movie based on a tremendous play. Oscar Wilde, despite his personal quirks, or maybe because of them, was a master of wit and language. When he wished to be serious, his works are also well written.

This movie, and others based upon his works (The Picture of Dorian Gray, etc.) are all masterpieces of art.

The Importance of being Earnest has been remade successfully, the dialog cannot be better. The situation, while complicated, is hysterical, and everything fits into place, especially at the end. In the 1952 version the play by Wilde was well adapted by writer/director Anthony Asquith. The portrayals of all the case, of Redgrave, as Redgrave as Jack, of Evans as Lady Bracknell, even that of Malleson as Canon Chasuble are sparkling, and the movie could not have been more enjoyable.

Recent remakes of Wilde's movies, including that of The Importance of Being Earnest, are well done. This original movie, however, should be seen by anyone appreciating comedy, and want to watch a great film.
