The writer and director Anthony Asquith was the son of H.H. Asquith who, as Home Secretary, brought the charges of immorality which led to Oscar Wilde's imprisonment.
Insecure in her film debut, Dorothy Tutin (Cecily Cardew) kept requesting retakes until producer Teddy Baird told her how much each new take cost.
Edith Evans (Lady Bracknell) had problems adjusting to movie acting, particularly when it came to hitting her marks on the floor. She finally told writer and director Anthony Asquith, "I always feel the camera should come to me instead of me go to the camera."
In keeping with the movie's theatrical origins, writer and director Anthony Asquith shot it mostly in sequence and used long takes to let the actors and actresses develop the rhythms of Oscar Wilde's dialogue.

"Lady Bracknell: Are your parents living? Jack Worthing: I have lost both my parents. Lady Bracknell: To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
