An Ideal Husband (1999)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col 98m
Director: Oliver Parker
Cast: Rupert Everett, Jeremy Northam, Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver
Synopsis:
When his friend's marriage and career in politics are threatened by a blackmailing gold digger, a hedonistic lord finds himself moved to intervene, and even to consider matrimony.
Review:
A classy rendering of Wilde's peerless prose in which all the parts are well-taken but Everett distinguishes himself as an effortless exponent of wit and Driver as a comedienne of expressive power. Some of the parts are played a mite broadly perhaps, but Blanchett and Northam impart a touch of restraint.
