5.0 out of 5 stars Oscar Wilde, you have to watch this., July 1, 2005
I just watched "Happy Birthday Oscar Wilde". Wow, full of amazing quotes and hilarious one liners from Wilde. There's a quote to suit every mood recited by a Hollywood star to suit every fancy. You get a great sense of his life through the quotes, from his sharp observations of society at the time to his persecution for being a gay man when it was illegal. One moment your laughing, next, you on the verge of tears. Well worth watching, if your not a fan of Oscar Wilde after this... there's no hope for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Birthday Oscar Wilde, August 4, 2005
If you are a fan of Oscar Wilde you will love this DVD. Some of the biggest stars of stage, screen and music are part of this celebration of what would have been Oscar's 150th birthday.
I found it very entertaining and educational. Really fun watching and listening to Martin Sheen, Bono, Lily Tomlin etc enjoying the wit of this great writer.
