Watching The Madness Of King George started me thinking about Rupert Everett. he is a one of a kind British actor that can handle both serious drama and droll comedy with a singular wit. he has not done that many mainstream Hollywood films and An Ideal Husband is one of his best.
An Ideal Husband is a comedy of manners based on the play by Oscar Wilde. It explores the matchmaking customs of late 19th century England while exploring themes of blackmail, politics and trust. Everett is surrounded by a beautiful supporting cast including Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver and Julianne Moore. Jeremy Northam also stars as the title character, "the ideal husband", or perhaps the title refers to Everett as the perfect catch.
You will have to watch this witty and suspenseful comedy drama to find out.
At The Movie House rating *** stars.
