The Importance Of Being Earnest2

Oscar Wilde's coruscating comedy of mistaken identities concerns a pair of dandyish bachelors (Rupert Everett and Colin Firth) meeting their match in a pair of spirited young women (Frances O'Connor and Reese Witherspoon). A "trivial play for serious people", it's stuffed with resolutely theatrical creations trading resolutely theatrical dialogue. The question, then, is how do you make it cinematic?
