    Amazing... Restoration Comedy on Film!

    A real find this one. I can see why it flopped. Modern audiences simply cannot relate or understand most Restoration drama, but this is a pretty fair example of two plays translated to film, replete with 18th century language.

    Such a pity the story is a bit limp and contrived, but refreshing nonethless.
