The drama An Ideal Husband, written in 1895, stands as yet another example of Wilde's critical view of late Victorian society. While presenting the agony that Robert Chiltern, a highly esteemed politician, goes through after Mrs Cheveley suddenly threatens to reveal the secret of the real origin of his wealth and influence, the play guides us through the usual set of characters in Wilde's socially critical comedies, and entertains us with witty remarks and straightforward wording of common (and sometimes uncommon) philosophy.
The film, made in 1999, follows the plot of the drama with only a few differences, and it opens the line of Wilde-based motion pictures directed by Oliver Parker; a line including The Importance of Being Earnest in 2002, and Dorian Gray in 2009.
Plot and Characters
The film presents the same main characters as the play. The way in which those characters come to life, however, shows some alteration, which partly results from making use of the opportunities offered by film as a genre, and partly suggests aspects of the filmmakers' own view of the subject.
