The whole movie is easy and fun, and the dialogue is witty and humorous-a lot of dialogue is quoted from Wilde's original work, and the music complements each other very humorously, especially the duet of Algernon and Jack in the middle is really hilarious. Of course, due to the time limitation of the movie, it is impossible to show all the dialogues or scenes one by one, and some details are different, such as Jack becoming Algernon's younger brother, but in general it is a pretty good-looking film.
When watching, don’t forget to listen to Algernon and Jack’s argument about singing skills at the end of the film. It’s very interesting.
The version in the Original Soundtrack CD of Enjoy!:
Lady Come Down-by Colin and Rupert
Rupert (as Algy): After you dear boy.
Colin (as Jack): Oh no after you.
Rupert: No, no, no, do go first ,
I'm not really good at the high bits.
Much better low.
Colin: Oh we'll see...
Hm hm hm hmm
Rupert: 1, 2, and...
Colin: The western wind is blowing fair
Across the dark Aegean Sea
Rupert: And at the secret marble stair
My Tyrian galley waits for thee
Chorus: Come down, the purple sail is spread
The watchman sleeps within the town
Oh leave thy lily flowered bed
Oh lady mine, come down
Come down
Lady come down
Come down
Lady come down,
Oh Lady come down
She will not come I know her well
Of lover's vows she hath no care
And little good a man can tell
Of one so cruel and so fair
Colin: True love is but a woman's toy
They never know their lover's pain
Rupert: And I who loved as loves a boy
Must love in vain
Chorus: Must love in vain
Come down
Lady come down
Come down
Lady come down
Colin: I think your high notes may have damaged our chances old boy.
You do want them to come down, don't you?
Rupert: well, she is never gonna come down if you're singing like that.
You're completely out of tune
Colin: How dare you!
Rupert: I'll take this bit.
Colin: you leave this to me.
You go have a lie down old man.
Rupert: no I'll take this bit
Colin: out of my way, I'm coming through
Rupert: go easy, my dear fellow
Colin: COME DOOOOOWWWNNN
Come down
Lady come down (Rupert: Over do it, less is more)
Come down
Lady come down
Colin: That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hmmmmhmhhhhmmmmm
Rupert: Maybe they're not going to come down.
D'you think we should go up?
Maybe we should go up.
Colin: Algy, you're always talking nonsense .
Rupert: Well, it's better than listening to it.
Colin (deep voice): Lady come down
Rupert: ooby doo bee doo bee doo bee doo
