Actors and characters

A film adaptation of the play of the same name by Oscar Wilde.
Finty Williams, who played Lady Bracknell as a young dancer, is the daughter of Judi Dench, who played the older Lady Bracknell.
Producers paid £50,000 to use West Wycombe as Jack's country house.
During the film's final scene – the revelation of John Worthing's origins – sheet music of Edvard Grieg's compositions lies on the piano music stand in his living room.
The scenes in which Rupert Everett slaps Colin Firth on the buttocks and kisses him on the cheek were improvised. However, director Oliver Parker liked Colin Firth’s stunned reactions in both instances so much that he decided to keep them.
The scenes with Ernest's bill at the Savoy and the creditors who came to Jack's village are taken from material that Wilde cut from the play just before its publication.
Producers paid £50,000 for the use of West Wycombe as Jack’s country house.
