Am 26. Januar 2009 wird Otto Premingers “Lady Windermeres Fächer / The Fan” [USA 1949] nach Oscar Wildes Bühnenstück über das BFI auf DVD veröffentlicht. Die Infos zur Disc sind auf der Label-WebSite zu finden. Als Bonus ist zusätzlich die Verfilmung “Lady Windermere’s Fan” [GB 1916, Fred Paul] enthalten:
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 Wildes Lady Windermere’s Fan is a classic comedy of manners that sparkles with wit as befitting the great playwright.
