This is an adaptation of a clever play by Oscar Wilde. It's chock full of silly sweet clevernesses deftly delivered by polished actors, every single one of them. In fin de siècle England are two men, each of whom makes up a fake person to hide behind. The one makes up a brother named Earnest who always needs his attention in town. The other pretends to actually BE Earnest when he realizes that might help him with a certain lady. There are all kinds of funny lines and deliveries, especially by Dame Edith Evans.
