MCT:January 1, 2007British wit - typically Oscar Wilde. Redgrave acts wonderfully, and Asquith portrays the play perfectly on camera.

MCT:September 20, 2006The premire film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's comic masterpeice is this 1952 version. The very model of wit and whimsy that came so naturally in the 50's and comes so rarely today. A confirmed bumburist myself, The Importance of Being Ernest was the first play I ever saw and since then I have become an avid fan of Oscar Wilde. There have been several versions but this is truly the best, with no unnecesary scenes or added dialogue, just the exact words of the brilliant play. Every Wilde fan will be perfectly satistfied. Best watched with an older aunty or uncle, some cucumber sandwiches and a cup of tea for some pure Wilde indulgent delight.

MCT:June 9, 2006This is another one of those rare cases where the remake of a movie is far funnier than the original. And, okay, the movies are based on a PLAY, not each other, but still... Where the 2001 version was lighthearted and cheery and had a sense of quirkiness to it, this one was played pretty much straight-faced and wasn't nearly as funny as the other. Too bad, considering it's such a fantastic story. Plus the girl playing Gwendolyn had a very very weird voice.
