The Importance Of Being Earnest

Based on Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance Of Being Earnest is the hilarious adventure of two young bachelors who create alter egos in order to find romance. Worthing is a wealthy chap who resides in the country but often visits the city as his "brother" Ernest. There he falls in love with the beautiful Gwendolyn. Montcrieff is Worthing's boisterous friend who lives in the city and spends money beyond his means. In order to escape bill collectors and boring dinner parties, Montcrieff creates "Bumbry," a sick friend whom he often visits out of town.

Bedazzled

Brendan Fraser stars in Bedazzled as Elliot, a dweebish office worker who yearns for Alison (played by Frances O'Connor from Mansfield Park), a coworker who barely knows he exists. When he blithely says he'd give his soul for Alison, the Devil appears (Elizabeth Hurley, Austin Powers) and says she'll give him seven wishes in exchange. Elliot is dubious at first, but agrees out of desperation. Unfortunately, his every wish always leaves the Devil a little wiggle room. When he asks to be rich and powerful, the Devil turns him into a drug lord beset on all sides.

Mr. Selfridge: Season Four

Beginning in 1928. Lady Mae eturns to London, and Harry gets himself into financial difficulty again with hasty promotional decisions. Grove celebrates his 20 years with Selfridge’s. Family dynamics and relationship are played up in episode two and a highlight of the third is an affair of a significant person. As can be expected, in the typical Selfridge fashion, the store has its ups and downs with more sub-plots and relationship issues than the store has departments. Outsiders get involved, as does Harry, not his first unwise fling.

Mr. Selfridge: Season Two

Much has changed since Selfridge's first opened its doors. Five years later, Europe is on the brink of war and London is enjoying one last defiant period of decadence. Having rocked the retail world with his pioneering new store, Harry Selfridge (Jeremy Piven) now has his sights set on rebuilding his family life. Tensions are also running high on the shop floor as Agnes is back from Paris and Henri Leclair has mysteriously returned from America.

Mr. Selfridge: Season Three

It's 1919, World War I has just ended, and Harry Selfridge, like many Londoners, is struggling with loss. The death of his beloved Rose has left the flamboyant entrepreneur all alone and he is making costly business mistakes. His empire is weakened, leaving him vulnerable to his old enemy Lord Loxley. Despite heartbreak and sorrow all around, the world goes on, and season three sees new characters breathe life back into the famous department store. Harry's gorgeous daughters are all grown up and causing trouble, and there's an intriguing new love interest to distract the mourning hero.

Mr. Selfridge: Season One

Created by Emmy Award-winning writer Andrew Davies (Pride And Prejudice, Bleak House), Mr. Selfridge brings to life the story of American entrepreneur Harry Gordon Selfridge, the colorful and visionary founder of Selfridge's, London's lavish department store. Pioneering and reckless, with an almost manic energy, Harry Selfridge created a theater of retail for early 1900s Londoners where any topic or trend that was new, exciting, entertaining - or sometimes just eccentric - was showcased.
