Boisterous and brimming with energy, Oliver Goldsmith's funniest and most famous play finds new life in this scrupulously faithful 2008 film adaptation. Filmed entirely at a 17th-century English manor house, this production escapes the confines of the stage and enlivens Goldsmith's witty text in every scene. Mistaken identities and practical jokes fuel the social satire, which remains as relevant today as when the play debuted in 1771. Includes an authoritative 50-minute documentary on the playwright hosted by Simon Butteriss. BRAND : IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT GENRE : TELEVISION: BRITISH COMEDY MANUFACTURER : ACORN MEDIA PUBLISHING INC.
