While in college, there was a film class that required several movie critiques on films that I couldn't quite make it to the International Theatre to view. So, that left me searching for these films at Blockbuster and the local library system (which had an AMAZING selection of foreign films).
I pulled into Blockbuster and searched around for a particular film, but was unable to find it. Seeing a worker sitting amongst a pile of videos, I approached her. She asked me if she could help me and I replied, "Yes, I'm looking for An Ideal Husband." "Aren't we all." she quipped back. Of course, I blushed furiously and then stammered through my explanation that it was a film of Oscar Wilde's play "An Ideal Husband."
I can't really remember a whole lot about the film, but I do remember it being witty. Reading the play gave me more opportunity to laugh and envision my own "production" of this play.
I really appreciated his descriptions for inspiration of certain individuals in the play. I am always looking for authors to promote other artists and writers in their works, and he satisfies this with his depictions (only known if you actually READ the play) of key players.
I'm glad I checked out his complete works from the library and look forward to reading much more of his works in the next coming weeks.
