This is the BBC 1985 edition of Lady windermere's fan I specify because one there's no poster to indicate exactly what it is and two there are so many lady Windermere films and plays out there, many of which are from the nineteen-twenties which always baffled me. It's the silent era you have to be able to show what you're doing on screen and Lady Windermere is nothing but talking.
The story of how gossip leads to bad things. If there's one thing I despise in situational comedies It's the old troubled situation that could easily be solved by simple two-minute conversation. luckily lady Windermere does not have that problem, it's issues are a bit more complex involving a potential love triangle, various Affairs and many secrets. If you're going to do drama do it right, make the effort and make me give a damn about the characters involved.
Really the only problem this movie has (and it's the same problem that plays have) is whenever lady Windermere has to monologue about something in the book you can imagine that these are thoughts in her head but in a play or film she literally have to speak out it makes her seem like a crazy person.
