Throughout September I will be raiding my collection of favourite movies to review one a day, with a focus on overlooked and underappreciated films.
Where to find it: YouTube
Length: 90 minutes
Synopsis: Classic comic play
Recommendation rating: 3/5
What I like about it: wordy, hammy, fun
What I don’t like about it: unimportant, problematic
Review:
The most popular and successful of Oscar Wilde’s plays, this bawdy farce finds two rakes assuming false identities to woo various ladies. Many quotable lines and fun farce with an unbearably syrupy ending.
