Curiosidades
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.

Erros de gravação
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.

a truly Wilde production

Oscar Wilde's most famous play is given an extremely stage-bound reading in this colour adaptation by Anthony Asquith. It evens starts and ends with the raising and lowering of a theatre curtain!

That aside this is probably the essential Wilde movie not only do we get the main four role perfectly cast (Michael Redgrave as Jack, Michael Denison as Algy, Dorothy Tutin as Cecily, Joan Greenwood as Gwendolen), we also have two of the most delightfully eccentric portrayals in the history of cinema with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Prism, and, of course, Edith Evans as Lady Bracknell. Who could resist the way Dame Edith says a handbag!'

A hugely enjoyable movie which makes sure none of the wit is lost in unnecessary padding or setting something the makers of the recent remake could learn from.
