Oscar Wilde's witty prose, clever characters plus the glorious costuming, particularly the green-mauve gown on Paulette Goddard make this adaptation very enjoyable to watch!
Wonderful 1890's period-piece romance starring the delightful Paulette Goddard as a wicked, slightly tarnished jezabel. Michael Wilding, w/his dreamy eyes is our hero, a hard pursued titled bachelor all the ladies want. This is a GEM of a movie. ☆☆☆☆☆
How could y'all watch this repeatedly!? I find it hard to watch once, can't understand half of the dialogue without the help of subtitles & there's way too much loud music going on all the time I'd rather watch the newer version with Rupert Everett even though I quite don't like him
Oscar Wilde has been my personal Hero since my teenage years ( now 68 ) . It is so clear that he was born into the wrong era . His brilliance and ego ,... his not playing the game well enough in real life ( unlike his written characters ) proved to be his heart breaking downfall .
The intrigue kept developing into what could have been very unfortunate..but being completely perfect is impossible..we all have chinks wherever they maybe…being in the condition human makes it so…
_Wow, my Sweet Helen! Only by the mention of Paulette Godard on the cast in this old amazing movie from 76 years ago, directed by the great Alexander Korda, it already worthwhile tô be seen!

What a retrospect, from former years to today, how distinct the rivalry between man and woman it's depiction of human nature and its struggles of good and evil. Love and honor forever more held in the balance..
Oscar Wilde's consummate wit, always spot-on. He reveals the sexes to each other. By the way, I bet the lawn in Hyde Park was the greenest in all England and the most treacherous, with all the horse riding.
Interesting to me is the fact that vacuum cleaners did not gain widespread use until after women ceased wearing dresses with long, floor and street sweeping hems. 😟
Loved it, but my favorite will remain "The Importance of Being Ernest." It's just too funny. The original, not the remake. Although funny, I prefer the cast in the original.
I wish to find another film based on the brilliant Oscar Wilde, A Good Woman. It seems it disappeared from any channels. Maybe you can find it! Thank you for your work and passion!
I see most people prefer “Earnest” more than “Ideal Husband,” but I like this more. Maybe it’s the perfect performance by so many, Michael Wilding being my favorite.

I nearly picked this as an option a film club I'm in votes on and later discusses but I didn't think it'd win so I axed it. Looks like the universe is pushing me toward watching it anyway. 👀
I also want to see what was so objectionable about Oscar Wilde's work that it was banned. I know his homosexual affair put him in prison. With all this book banning nonsense recently, I want to see the reason for his writing to be forbidden.
Great, but these are the worst subtitles ever. Several errors in Ralph Richardson's initial narration, and shortly afterwards the maid says 'downstairs', not 'upstairs'. Rather a basic error. I switched off at that point. And do we really need to be told about the music, horses' hooves, etc.? That we can already hear?
Marvellous movie! Love me some Oscar Wilde any time! One intriguing detail: in the beginning, at the ball, an announcement is made of 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex'. however, in 1895 (the year the movie is set in, as is said in the very beginning) there were no Duke and Duchess of Sussex! The title was only bestowed twice: the first time from 1801 to 1843, to Prince Augustus Frederick, the sixth son of King George III, and the second time in 2018, to the current Duke, Prince Harry. Wilde probably felt safe to use the name, as there was no holder of the title at the time ...
Thoroughly enjoyed this society melodrama of blackmail and political intrigue. While I know Paulette Goddard is the nominal star, but my applause goes to the superb Diana Wynyard. You can tell she knows the role of Mrs. Gertrude Chiltern inside out, that she's a old hand at Wilde and the whole repertoire of Modern British drama. She Possesses Beauty, Brains and a honeycomb voice I could listen to for hours. Ive always admired Goddard but there aint nothin English or aristocratic about her...she is the All - American tootsie from So Proudly We Hail (43). I personally imagine Margaret Lockwood in as the scheming Mrs. Cheveley. Ive book marked this one for a 2nd viewing.
Oscar Wilde was not only a brilliant playwright but somewhat of a seer ...74 years after he wrote the play there was indeed an Argentine Scheme, albeit not associated with a canal. 😂😂💕
COLORIZED?? i should bloody well think so! how can an epic of fashion design like this be shewn in b/w? 19:46 Argentine Canal Scheme-best executed negotiation ever
I can only imagine having a conversation with intellect. Without cursing. Honesty.i didn't care, about power until my freedom was taken . If he doesn't like her clothing he can purchase her a new one
This was a better film than expected! The ending has a very O. Henry vibe, loved it! On a modern day note, so thankful we're no longer required to dress in these ridiculous costumes unless we *want* to! I'm good with a t shirt, jeans and sneakers thank you! 😄
What is ridiculous about victorian clothes? I think it's beautiful! We could take lessons from them! Everyone looked elegant. Today people dress like bums! Clothes is an extension of our personalities. Today's clothing leaves nothing to the imagination and, it reflects where we have gone in society!
A prominent politician is preparing to expose a financial scandal.but then a woman ( Paulette Goddard) who has invested heavily in the shady venture threatens to uncover a damaging secret in the politician’spast if he exposes the speculation as a fraud! His problem is compounded by his wife’s intolerance of the slightest character flaws! I like Paulette Goddard in most of herb her movies-well, the character she plays is evil-not bad! Glynis John’s. John’s -she’s pretty good throughout the film at her finest! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
11:00. Well.!! After have watched these scenes of hi-society collecting together, Lords & ladies, Dukes & Dutchess, Admiral & Generals and Rich people. So many important figures in the past London society. I can't admit sincerely, maybe the WORLD HAD LOSE its GLORY indeed. Compared to nowadays situation, or should it be, as good as it gets.

I like the fairytales and essays best, can't seem to get into his London high society social comedies. In this respect, I prefer Bernard Shaw as playwright, but this is a good production of An Ideal Husband.
The very first dialogue is a masterpiece beyond the comprehension of today's studios.
Oscar Wilde's witty prose, clever characters plus the glorious costuming, particularly the green-mauve gown on Paulette Goddard make this adaptation very enjoyable to watch!
I’ve watched this film many times and still enjoy it. Handsome Micheal Wilding , and all the gorgeous clothes. The beginning sets the stage.
Simply a marvel. We owe Oscar Wilde a debt that cannot be repaid.
That was absolutely delightful… how to insult someone sweetly to their face… brilliant!

She's utterly wicked, quite scary in the film. It's a wonder no one takes a broom to her!
@@ЛуизаНовикова-е1ь Ой, зачем же вы его так обозвали! 😊Не ГЕринг, а ГОринг!!!
One must watch several times to catch half of Wilde's brilliance. Fortunately, there is fine acting, costuming and direction along the way.
I agree. It's the same with reading his plays. He's just brilliant.
Yes, that's why I like RUclips. You can rewind any time you want. Great for reading subtitles that go by too fast.
fortunately it is a pleasure to watch it several times....

Very clever, and certainly a good take on human nature! Seems like we are living this all again, now. Deceit, lies, more lies, honor, and Truth!
Beautiful and clever play matched by the outstanding costumes.

Cecil Beaton costumes are so elegant
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading
Wow❤❤❤🎉
Oscar Wilde has been my personal Hero since my teenage years ( now 68 ) . It is so clear that he was born into the wrong era . His brilliance and ego ,... his not playing the game well enough in real life ( unlike his written characters ) proved to be his heart breaking downfall .
Yes, I agree, he was born too early. He would be well loved today and well cared for. I have been a fan of his since my early teens too. Now, 58.
"not playing the game well enough in real life" Brilliantly insightful comment ! 👍
Have you read Richard Elliman's biography ?
Smiled through the whole movie! The wit, the charm, the devilish antics! 😊

Is Oscar Wilde a hero??
@@Guruenglishh stay tuned
Wilde was a tragic case. If anyone would have understood his demise, it would surely have been himself.
Beaton's costumes are spectacular.
The intrigue kept developing into what could have been very unfortunate..but being completely perfect is impossible..we all have chinks wherever they maybe…being in the condition human makes it so…
One of my favorite movies. Love Glynis Johns. Oscar Wilde always has clever writing. The 1999 version is well done, also.
Goddard wore her own emeralds in the opening scenes and she charged the studion rental!

The horses were ridden along the tan track, not on the grass.

those dresses were worn only 40 years before the film was made, its possible that many of them were actual old dresses from the 1890s!!!
Actually they were all designed by Cecil Beaton. He also did the costumes for "My Fair Lady", anachronistic make-up and all ! 😅
