Ealing go highbrow, with one or two elements (some less successful than others) added to Oscar Wilde material e.g. that Lady Bracknell was a chorus girl. And some passable songs. Ol Parker has chopped up the play in an acceptable manner. Sorry,
not Ol Parker - that's someone else...
Good cast of Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Reece Witherspoon, Judi Dench, Frances O'Connor, Edward Fox. Tom Wilkinson and Anna Massey.
Shot by Tony Pierce-Roberts at West Wycombe Park (location for
Belle, and
Labyrinth - which I am reminded I have not yet seen).
