Set in England in the late 1800s, this acerbic filming of Oscar Wilde's farce features Rupert Everett as the idle, witty Lord Goring. Can he save his best friend-"ideal husband" and Parliament member Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam)-from scandal at the hands of the sneaky and conniving Mrs. Laura Cheveley (Julianne Moore)? And just what does Mrs. Cheveley have in store for Goring himself?
