This is the classic screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's delightful comedy of manners about the English upper class in the late nineteenth century.
The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to The Importance of Being Earnest will help parents and teachers introduce Oscar Wilde and ridicule the foibles of upper class English society of the late 19th century. This play demonstrates that fashion and fashionable ways of behaving that are often thought by young people to be very important are, in reality, fads which will have their day and then fade away.
