BBC Play of the Month: An Ideal Husband (1969)
brilliant
I adored this film and would recommend it to anyone. If you like good acting, great costumes and scenery well then this is the film for you. The acting is excellent and you almost forget that you are watching actors. This film is a great "Whos who" in British acting. The beginning of the film will make you want to see the whole thing. The first person we see is Jeremy Brett and he is perfect in the role of Lord Goring he is handsome, witty and charming. If you like Oscar Wilde I recommend you also watch "The Picture of Dorian Gray" in which Jeremy Brett also appears as the painter Basil Hallward. The film is the most accurate portrayal of any Oscar Wilde films I have ever seen.
BBC Play of the Month: The Picture of Dorian Gray (1976)
Great
I enjoyed this film and after it finished it still makes you think about it. I believe Jeremy Brett is brilliant in this role although his "death" acting was a little over the top, but as its Jeremy Brett I didn't mind.
This is a good piece of drama and does follow Oscar Wildes novel very closely. If you enjoy this film then I recommend you also watch "An Ideal Husband" with Jeremy Brett as Lord Goring.
This film gives a great insight into Oscar Wildes way of thinking.And while watching it the viewer is reminded of how in a way Dorian Grey is Lord Alfred 'bosie' Douglas and Basil Halward is Oscar Wilde.
