I'm surprised that since this movie was made fairly recently it's not more commonly known!?! It's a wonderful movie with perfectly chosen actors that play there parts legendry (and of course cos Colin Firth's in it......need I say more). I have been trying to find this video everywhere yet it's like it doesn't exist. So if anyone gets a chance to see it, please share your thoughts; maybe ur fav character, fav scene, fav line... anything like that.
shareI love Noel Coward plays a and directed this over thirty years ago, I never thought I'd see a film version made. The original was produced on the London Stage in 1950. When I saw this on cable I was sure it would be a disaster, and happily I was wrong! It is quite faithful to the play and all the performances are on target. And it's so good to hear clever dialog in a comedy and not just site gags and sex jokes for a change!
Well I honestly think it didn't work since it's not a good movie, I think it's rather boring.
shareI viewed on the US cable channel Flix.
I really liked the movie for what it was, light hearted fun. I thought the cast was wonderful, and especially enjoyed Colin Firth in a role that is not typical of him at all. I have liked Sophie Thompson since I saw her in Emma and thought she was great too. Steven Fry was good, a little understated, and Julie Andrews is always marvelous.
I think the parts of Miranda and Nigel could have been played by anyone, and Jeanne Tripplehorn and Edward Atterton did okay in thankless roles.
I would definitely see it again

I watched it for the first time last night, and thourilly enjoyed it. This film was a nice contrast to most of the action, sex or violent films shown these days. Julie Andrews and Colin Firth was great as usual, i just wish the girl who played the maid Alice had been given a bigger part, she was so funny, and bubbly..great entertainment!
shareI found it rather bland. The script was weak, the direction unispiring, the actors were decent, but all in all nothing specal. Easy Virtue is much better, the only thing I prefered from this version is Jeanne Triplehorn.
