CGiii Comment
Lady Windermere's Fan gets brutalised.
A woefully miscast Helen Hunt in an updated, relocated and criminally abused re-working of a Wilde classic.
All the wit has been stripped away, leaving a vacuous empty shell - a prime example of how-not-to-do-Wilde.
Dreadful.

The(ir) Blurb...
In 1930, Mrs. Erlynne, who describes herself as poor and infamous, driven from New York society by jealous wives, sees a news photo of wealthy Lord Windermere and his young wife: she heads for the Amalfi Coast to be among the rich and famous for 'the season' and to snare Mr. Windermere. Gossips twitter as he spends his afternoons with her, his wife blissfully innocent as she blushingly fends off attentions from a young English nobleman, an international playboy who thinks he's in love. Mrs. Erlynne is also pursued by a worldly-wise older English nobleman. Mrs. Windermere's 20th birthday party approaches, where all plays out amid numerous amoral Wildean aphorisms.
