Year: 1999
Director: Oliver Parker
Plot: A romantic and sentimental comedy set at the turn of the 19th century, An Ideal Husband delves into themes of love, passion, and betrayal among the aristocracy. Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam), a brilliant politician and a perfect gentleman, is the ideal husband for the charming Lady Chiltern (Cate Blanchett). They have a widely envied marriage until charming Mrs. Cheveley (Julianne Moore) appears with the intention of revealing a dark secret from Chiltern's past. When his world seems to be falling apart, Chiltern turns to his lifelong friend Lord Arthur Goring (Rupert Everett), the most eligible bachelor in town. Goring soon finds himself caught up in a web of lies, temptations, and secret liaisons. Furthermore, the persistent charms of Sir Robert's sister Mabel (Minnie Driver) are becoming a serious threat to his much-cherished bachelorhood. Using political intrigue and clever wit, An Ideal Husband draws a picture of a society struggling with issues still valid today. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, All Movie Guide

Body: An Ideal Husband (1999) is an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. It is replete with top notch English actors (Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Minnie Driver, etc.) who just love to sink their teeth into the witty dialogue and emotional confrontations. Although advertised as a comedy, it is also serious. The plot: An unscrupulous woman blackmails an upstanding member of parliament and nearly ruins his marriage and career. The theme: We all have feet of clay, so idealizing someone is not a wise thing to do; it is better and more difficult to love people knowing their flaws. All of this substance is buried beneath superficial jousting, gossiping, and the silliness of courting season in 1895 in London. Jim Bell
