Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan [VHS] [1916]

Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan [VHS] [1916]

Turning Oscar Wilde's epigram-laden plays into silent movies was never going to be the ... more

easiest of tasks. This 1916 version ofLady
Windermere's Fan, one of the earliest Wilde films,
tackles the dilemma by the drastic expedient of
chucking out all the wit and keeping the
melodrama. The action revolves around that
favourite figure of the Victorian stage, The
Guilty Mother Who Must Atone, and the script
reworks the action of Wilde's play to shift our
sympathies, right from the first, to the side of
the errant mother in question, Mrs
Erlynne.Direction is by Fred Paul, a now forgotten
figure, though he was well known as an actor and
director in the silent era. As an actor, he was
famous for playing clean-cut heroes such as
Nayland Smith, intrepid nemesis of the villainous
Dr Fu Manchu. His direction ofLady Windermere's
Fanis stolid and unadventurous. Essentially he
shoots it as theatre, the camera taking up a fixed
frontal position from which it rarely budges. The
acting is mostly in keeping with Paul's
approach--the cast give very much the same
performances they must have perfected on the West
End stage. The liveliest scene, oddly enough,
takes place at a dog show (a venue that plays no
part in Wilde's original), where Paul favours the
dogs with a lot more close-ups than he ever grants
to his actors.This print is the version
distributed in the USA by DW Griffith's Triangle
company, and a few clumsy cuts early on may be the
result of US censorship. Nicholas Brown's music,
specially commissioned for this release, is scored
for piano trio, and neatly captures the edgy,
genteel flavour of the period. --Philip Kemp

I said 'Lady' not 'Lake'

Advantages: A wonderful comedy with all the wit of Wilde.
Disadvantages: Rather outdated now

.../>

Lady Windermere's Fan, A Play About a Good Woman - is a four act satirical comedy about the morals of Victorian society, especially marriage.


The action of the play takes place within a 24 hour period, beginning on a Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock, and ending the next day at 1.30 p.m.


The play was an instant success when it was produced in London at St. James Theatre on February ...
...
In the play, Lady Windermere considers leaving her husband of two years when , because of her eavesdropping, she is convinced of her husband’s infidelity.

Although the play is now obviously very dated it is still a very popular play.

gentle fun

Advantages: easy to read, funny and quaint
Disadvantages: too short

Oscar Wilde was a literary genious. This lovely little play is one of his best, it is very funny, beautifully written and very easy to read. This would be a great introduction for anyone to Oscar Wilde. There is much misunderstanding throughout the play, people have 'shocking' secrets which all come undone, of course the secrets would not be seen as shocking today, but that is part of the delight of Wilde, we can enjoy the innocence and fun, without ...

Advantages: Very funny and a good play

...be absolutely awful. Done badly, Lady Windermere, her husband and others seem no more than two dimensional, cut-out characters of those found in higher society of Wilde's era. Mrs.Erlynne becomes an intolerable bitch and Darlington seems ever so creepy. However, done well, one sees a comical and critical take on 'whatever people call Society nowadays', telling an intricate tale of deceit, love, money and scandal. I wont ruin the secrets of the play, ...

Dorian Revisited

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: few

So many book, so little time. Compared with some I consider myself well-read, compared with the number of books on the market I feel I?m hardly literate. Rarely do I read a book a second time although I´ve got lots which would be worth it. Why have I decided to honour this novel with a second perusal? I read the German translation in my teens and since then Oscar Wilde has always been with me, so to speak. I´ve read his children´s stories, seen on the stage and read with my students The Importance Of Being Earnest, been to a brilliant West End performance of Lady Windermere´s Fan and have seen the film on Oscar Wilde starring Stephen Fry. What has always pleased me is Wilde´s use of the English language, his witty apercus and aphorisms. I like using those myself with the difference that I don´t invent many not being a genius ...
