THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

“You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar. And though I most distinctly asked for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition and extraordinary sweetness of my nature. But I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far."

Featuring brilliantly polished performances by Michael Redgrave, Joan Greenwood and Dame Edith Evans, this 1950s Technicolor adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s comic jewel sparkles under the direction of Anthony Asquith (THE BROWNING VERSION). Seldom has a classic stage comedy been so engagingly transferred to the screen! Wilde’s enduringly hilarious story finds two young women who both think themselves engaged to the same nonexistent man.
