Ideal Husband, An (1999)

Any Oscar Wilde is good...
And "An Ideal Husband" is no exception. This comedic morality play takes on courtship, blackmail and mistaken identities like only Oscar Wilde can. The film features an all-star cast who can deliver on the roles assigned to them. There was only one major divergence from the original play--but overall, the film is true to Wilde's script and humor.

"An Ideal Husband" is well worth watching more than once. If you are an Oscar Wilde fan, this lesser-known play is a worthwhile addition to your DVD collection.

An Ideal Husband

Someone gave this film to me as a gift.
Interesting story about high society that
involves marriage, friendship and behind the
scene corruption in politics. I found it very
enjoyable. A gift worth watching.

An Ideal Husband
A thoroughly delightful comedy with plenty of twists and turns to keep one guessing what will happen next. Excellent cast. Although full of British humor it is still very understandable and entertaining to an American. It is funny, witty and tense with drama as well. A great ending. Not for young viewers due to a mature theme with sexual and political overtones, that is, however, tastefully done and is true to the era depicted. A message for males, but a super "chick-flick" for a girls night in - grab a glass of bubbly and enjoy.
