TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The business with "Ernest's" bill at the Savoy and the money collectors coming to Jack's country home is taken from a scene cut from the play prior to its publication.

Finty Williams (Young Lady Bracknell) is the daughter of Dame Judi Dench (older Lady Bracknell).

While Reese Witherspoon was learning her English accent for this movie, her husband, Ryan Phillippe was learning a Scottish accent for his role in Gosford Park (2001). The person who picked it up fastest? Their daughter Ava.

The scenes where Rupert Everett slaps Colin Firth on his rear end and where Everett kisses Firth's cheek were ad-libbed. Writer and director Oliver Parker thought Firth's stunned reaction was so humorous, he decided to leave them in.

Dame Judi Dench and Anna Massey reprised their roles as Lady Bracknell and Miss Prism, respectively. They played them on the London stage twenty years earlier. Anna received an Olivier award for that performance in 1982.

Popular Dialogues

"Algy: Bunbury? He was quite *exploded*. Lady Bracknell: Exploded? Algy: [pretending sadness] Mm. Lady Bracknell: Was he the victim of some revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation. Algy: My dear Aunt Augusta, I mean he was *found out*. The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live - that is what I mean - so Bunbury died. Lady Bracknell: He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians."

"Lady Bracknell: Well, I must say, Algy, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or die. This shilly-shallying with the question is absurd!"
