Two young gentlemen living in 1890s England use the same pseudonym ('Ernest') on the sly, which is fine until they both fall in love with women using that name, which leads to a comedy of mistaken identities.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A frothy, witty romp through Victorian society where the artifice of courtship becomes the whole delightful point. Wilde's verbal ingenuity is the real star, turning drawing-room conventions inside out with relentless comedic charm.
