Sincerity

Squire Worthing (Michael Redgrave) (played by Michael Denison) came to London to visit Alger (played by Michael Denison), but the actual purpose was the latter's cousin Gwendolan. In order to facilitate the visit to Gwendolan, Worthing invented a fictional London concubine named Ernest. Alger had a soft spot for Cicely, the girl under Worthing's guardianship in the country, so he came forward to help Worthing propose to Gwendolan. Although the pseudonym Ernest (sincerity) had an inexplicable attraction to the girl, Worthing's outcast background made his future mother-in-law refuse. Alger rushed to his country residence before Worthing, pretending to be Ernest and met Cicely as he wished. Not long after Worthing and Gwendolan's mother and daughter arrived one after another, the deception of the virtual character "Mr. Ernest" was finally exposed. The two men were at a loss for a while, but an old past incident suddenly surfaced, making the future of the two lovers turn upside down. The film is adapted from Oscar Wilde's work of the same name.
