Un marido ideal

Here's a film doing its level best to prove Oscar Wilde's wit can survive anything. A politician is blackmailed over past sins, and seeks help from a louche friend with connections to the blackmailer. It's all charming costumes and perfectly delivered dialogue, even if the plot is mostly an excuse for both.
