The best part of The Importance of Being Earnest (1952)

IMDB indeed lists technicolor–(which implies that the film’s colors have not faded over time) but I can’t help but think that a bad telecine job may have distorted the colors.

Here’s a review of the region B bluray:

it has video footage of some of the other characters of the movie, but not Lady Bracknell. looks quite good, but I live in Region A…

A great film of a great play; but, still not quite “Kind Hearts and Coronets”.

“I always say that my west window has all the exuberance of Chaucer without, happily, any of the concomitant crudities of his period.”

My favourite part of the whole play is when the butler tells Algernon there were no cucumbers in the market.
