If you loved St Trinian's, try An Ideal Husband

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Oliver Parker, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to St Trinian's, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What An Ideal Husband is

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.
