I bow to your brilliance. As soon as I read your reply, my reaction: "Doh! Well, yeah, of course that's it. I do feel a bit stupid."
I was pretty sure I'd seen a great old movie version recently on TCM or the like, so I checked IMDB.com. There was a recent 2002 which I've not seen. Cast looks good. The version I remembered was a '52 movie starring Michael Regrave, Dame Edith Evans as Lady Bracknell (source of quote) and the wonderful Margaret Rutherford. There have been a bunch of TV movies with some outstanding performers. I don't think Tom Arnold, Jennifer Lopez, or Erik Estrada were in any of them.
