What are some examples of some differences between the movie version and the book The Importance of Being Earnest?

Answer 1

The most obvious add-ons in the movie in "The Importance of being earnest" compared to its play was - The addition of cigarettes, in the movie they smoked through a yellow filter which was invented in late 1920s. The play was created and assumably set before the publish date of 1899. - The daydreaming of Cecily where she imagined a knight in black shining armor, later to be visualized as Algernon who in her dreams came to set her free. Stereotypically speaking girls would love to be swept of their feet by a man in their lives. Later she also wrote love letters to herself from a man by the name of Earnest, this was not in available to read in the play I believe. - Also the fact that Gwendolen tattooed the name "Earnest" on her buttcheek and Jack tattooed "Gwendolen" was something different too. - The sub-plot between Dr. Chausable and Miss Prism - The addition of music into the movie Interestingly, all of these points except the last two getting acrossed was made so without even a adding a dialog to it.
