Wilde\u2019s successful play \u201cLady\u2019s Windermere\u2019s Fan\u201d (1892) was recently turned into a motion picture with Scarlet Johansson and Helen Hunt in the leading role. Not having read Wilde for over a decade, I ravished listening to witty dialogs about marriage and happiness. After watching the movie I browsed through the play to see how faithfully Howard Himelstein adapted the play to the big screen. The movie transplants the action from London to summertime Italy and stretches the twenty-four hours, during which the play takes place, over a couple of weeks. I dare say that the film is even better than the original play. Only Scarlet Johansson, who is the latest celebrity with her own perfume line, seems a bit miscast for the Victorian persona of Lady Windermere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all you fans of Oscar Wilde, here is a movie that you will enjoy.
