Two classic English gentlemen and a great song

Although the concept of Beauty is above all is very problematic, no one can deny that Oscar Wilde’s writing is beautiful. Therefore, his literary attainments, especially in drama, or to be precise in comedy. It's quite remarkable. Although the movie The Importance og Being Earnest looks like a superficial farce, its absurdity itself can explain the problem. Behind the plot arrangements of too good to be true are pungent ridicules. The superficial love between men and women, for those ladies who love to dream...I haven’t read the original work, I don’t know how to evaluate this work correctly, but if you look at it here: http://www.dbmov.com/People /893017/Filmography/ , you can know how classic Wilde's works are. Otherwise, why are so many film directors so popular and vying for adaptation. This The importance of being earnest is said to have been adapted in 1952, I don’t know if it looks good. But I really like the new version of these two British gentlemen, as I said in my previous blog. The Lady Come Down they sang together was very nice, and the two actors were really talented. One played the piano and the other talked about the guitar. They sang the song in a playful tone. I originally planned to record it myself, but I found it on Google: http://www.jumbojimbo.com/lyrics.php?songid=4877

The Importance of Being Earnest quotes
-
Algy: Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?
Lane: I didn't think it polite to listen, Sir.

Algy: But why does your aunt call you her uncle?
[Reading cigarette case]
Algy: "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." There is no objection, I admit, to an aunt being a small aunt, but why an aunt, no matter what her size may be, should call her own nephew her uncle, I can't quite make out.
