My wife and I will often watch the old 1952 film version which is by far my favorite. I'm not really fond of the newer film at all. On the other hand, I do really like the newer film version of An Ideal Husband with Minnie Driver. <br /><br />Wilde's was a wit that is unsurpassed. He really had such a clever, deft way with words.

Our hiugh school's drama dept produced it a few years back ... they did a great job, but their youth put a blush on the characters that I thought made it seem winsome instead of biting and satirical ... was wishing to see more seasoned actors do a production ... then I found a BBC version of the play on DVD. better perspective all around ... so funny!Susan Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039551683129884367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-74342095388962866732013-06-04T16:51:17.749-04:002013-06-04T16:51:17.749-04:00Nikki - It's such a fun play to see live.
