"They don't come any wilder than Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners, morals and morality!"
Two young gentlemen living in 1890s England use the same pseudonym ('Ernest') on the sly, which is fine until they both fall in love with women using that name, which leads to a comedy of mistaken identities.
