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's witty prose, clever characters plus the glorious costuming, particularly the green-mauve gown on Paulette Goddard make this adaptation very enjoyable to watch!
How magnificent the beginning of this film is? It's like old photographs were animated? What a beautiful job cecil beat knew what he was doing man.He really knew what he was doing now to watch the rest of the movie and see how that is
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. ☆☆☆☆☆
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 .
_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!

🇮🇪 Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪. Wow! Some of my ALL time favorite actors and Film Creators : Doing their VERSION ~ "an Ideal Husband" ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
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..
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…
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.
He died in poverty and disgrace, but if you fly into Dublin, they have GIANT wall sized pictures of him all over the place. May he rest in Part, because I doubt he would choose peace.
And I do love London society, the beautiful and young and charming Glennis John's family passed away recently. The magnificent diana wynyardThis is one beautiful film.I could ramble on about it for hours, but I shan't
After the Ball ❤ I love the music in the beginning. I see there's a 1999 version of this film. Guess I'll go check it out and avoid these ads. I tend to forget that RUclips is saturated with them until I get back here
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.
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. 😟
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 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.
I adore Wilde's clever way with words and witty observations, but the lesson here is obviously, that cheaters can prosper with impunity and continue to enjoy the fruits of their ill gotten gains with a clear conscience..
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 ...
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 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!
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. 😂😂💕
The observations about wealth and power, morality and forgiveness, are still very on-point. For a change, there is not as much emphasis on romance, although there is a sub-plot about it.
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.
Πόσο χαίρομαι που μέσα από αυτό το σπουδαίο έργο ξετυλίγεται η σεξιστική και απαίσια συμπεριφορά των ανδρών απέναντι σέ μία γυναίκα όταν ξεσκεπάζονται οι απατεωνιες του.
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.
Compared to the Rupert Everett version this has a lot more of Wilde’s play dialogue. But the brooch theft angle is such a poor plot device, no wonder the newer version dropped it. A woman as clever as Mrs. Cheveley would have said “Oh dear, my husband bought it for me in Paris, I had no idea it was stolen, please return it to its true owner with my apologies.”
Simply a marvel. We owe Oscar Wilde a debt that cannot be repaid.
I’ve watched this film many times and still enjoy it. Handsome Micheal Wilding , and all the gorgeous clothes. The beginning sets the stage.
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....

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 ! 👍

Excellent. Always wonderful to see Oscar Wilde's brilliance.
One of my favorite movies. Love Glynis Johns. Oscar Wilde always has clever writing. The 1999 version is well done, also.
Absolutely great! Love Oscar Wilde and all his works
Is Oscar Wilde a hero??
@@ebenezervfx stay tuned

Doing their VERSION ~
"an Ideal Husband" !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely delightful......thank you for posting.
" After the ball is over".. pretty opening song, great memories of childhood when elderly adults around us hummed these sweet ditties..
😂 Thank U for the name of the song!
@mimiluvfromsf you're welcome ;) then comes a bit of Colonel Bogeys March at 3:40 😂
Such a wonderful show! Those dresses are amazing..... But that zipper on that one dress drove me nuts LOL
I Love Russian version of' an Ideal husband". Great costumes, great actors and lots of scenes outdoors that give liveliness and colour to the film/
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..
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…
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’m taking your advice, now I’m watching 😂
No, I think Lady Windermere's Fan is much better 💯✔💯✔👍

Absolutely agree!!!
With Michaels Redgrave and denison, Edith evans etc. it made me laugh out loud all the way through and hadn’t aged a jot
Well done!! Wonderful performances by all!! Beautiful production!!
A brilliant film! The cast of actors is amazing.

The observations about wealth and power, morality and forgiveness, are still very on-point. For a change, there is not as much emphasis on romance, although there is a sub-plot about it.
As far as serious melodramas go, this one at least is leavened by Wilde's sharp wit,
Too many lies and the Jezebel really looked her part ! Loved the clothes, the fashionable hairdos that's about it 😮
Love it, but then it is Oscar Wilde so what is not to love !
Wilde at heart 💜
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.
The horses were ridden along the tan track, not on the grass.
