An Ideal Husband

Sir Robert Chiltern is a model politician with a spotless reputation, until the scheming Mrs. Cheveley threatens to expose the corrupt stock deal that launched his career. As Robert's idealistic wife Gertrude struggles with the revelation that her husband is not the man she believed him to be, the dandy Lord Goring must navigate blackmail, love, and the gap between public virtue and private truth. Wilde's sophisticated comedy of manners probes the impossibility of moral perfection.
