And I've never seen it, but Alfred Hitchcock's silent film of Lady Windermere's Fan has always sounded intriguing.

It's directed by Lubitsch and a very smart adaptation considering that it doesn't rely on Wilde's dialogue to move the story forward. The art direction by Harold Grieve and the uncredited Edgar G. Ulmer brilliantly reveals the characters through their environments.

I was mistaking his lensings of two other plays: Coward's EASY VIRTUE (silent) and O'Casey's JUNO AND THE PAYCOCK (talkie)!
