The Fan

Image

After many years abroad, Mrs Erlynne returns to a London much changed by the ravages of war. Whilst at an auction she recognizes an attractive fan which once belonged to her - but before she can claim it she must find another party to vouch for her. Seeking out Lord Darlington, her only acquaintance left remaining in London, the pair soon begin a journey of memory, love, loss and sacrifice.

Featuring George Sanders, Madeleine Carroll and Jeanne Crain and co-adapted by the legendary Dorothy Parker, Otto Preminger's 1949 version of Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan is a classic comedy of manners that sparkles with wit as befitting the great playwright.

Extras
* Lady Windermere's Fan - Fred Paul's 1916 silent version of Wilde's play (65 minutes)
* Illustrated booklet featuring film essays and biography
* Fully uncompressed PCM mono audio

Hmm, it may just be the caps, but what Gary describes as 'thick' or 'hazy' looks almost like a video source in the first two caps; the other caps look somewhat different (better).
