"Oscar Wilde's comic jewel sparkles in Anthony Asquith's adaptation of this film. The enduringly hilarious story of two young women who think themselves engaged to the same nonexistent man is given the grand Technicolor treatment."@en
"A la fin du XIXe siècle, deux jeunes bourgeois oisifs cultivent les quiproquos dans leurs conquêtes amoureuses."
"Production by the Melbourne Theatre Company and the Sydney Theatre Company of the play by Oscar Wilde."
"Comédie de moeurs adaptée de la pièce d'Oscar Wilde située dans la bourgeoisie oisive londonienne de la fin du XIXe siècle. Deux jeunes dandys cherchant à se marier, s'inventent, l'un un frère et l'autre un ami nommé Ernest, nom dont sont amoureuses les jeunes femmes qu'ils souhaitent épouser. Avec Michael Denison, Edith Evans, Joan Greenwood, Michael Redgrave, Margaret Rutherford."
"Oscar Wilde's wittiest play about the bourgeois social set of the 1890s, centering on two eligible bachelors, took over fifty years to make it to the screen. While Anthony Asquith's skillful direction extracts all the polish of Wilde's brilliant dialogue, he made little attempt to open up this repertory standard in order to make it more cinematic. As his device of having a couple enter a stage box and sit down before a curtain rises at the start of the film suggests, this is theatre first and foremost."
"This film is based on Oscar Wilde's comedy of manners play. It is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personas in order to escape burdensome obligations."@en

"Two young women think themselves engaged to a nonexistent "Ernest" in this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's comedy of errors."
"Anthony Asquith directs the first screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy. Algernon Moncrieff (Michael Denison) has discovered that he has a secret in common with his friend Jack Worthing (Michael Redgrave) - they both use alter-egos when in a tight spot. However, when Algernon decides to pose as Jack's alter-ego - a brother from London - for a weekend in the country, he finds that Jack's cousin Cicely (Dorothy Tutin) has developed an infatuation with the mysterious brother; and now she can meet him. Meanwhile, Algernon's cousin Gwendolyne (Joan Greenwood) is also staying for the weekend and knows Jack as his alter-ego. Confused?"
"Set in England during the 1800s, this comedy of manners revolves around a pun on the name Ernest."
"Filmic version of Oscar Wilde's play about a lovestruck suitor named Jack whose fiancee can only love a man named Ernest."@en
"This star-studded version of Oscar Wild's classic comedy is full of charm and remains the definitive version of his work. Jack and Algernon are two wealthy bachelors. Jack is in love with Gwendolen, while Algernon is attracted to Jack's ward Cecily. Not suprisingly complication arises as each of the girls think they are engaged to Ernest (who doesn't exist), and to complicate things further Gwendolen's mother Lady Bracknell arrives.
