An Ideal Husband

Witty and brilliant, almost every line of this movie is quotable and yet, at its heart is a touching story about sacrificial love and forgiveness. Gertrude Chiltern is upright and principled and her husband, Robert (with a blossoming political career), was to her an ideal, "set apart from common life." Their life seems perfect, but when Mrs. Cheveley shows up with a dark secret from Robert's past it's up to Lord Goring - the idlest man in London - to set things right again.

We love the part when... but we love every part so you should just watch it for yourself. This movie comes with our highest recommendations. If you're worried about very brief nudity barely seen from across a big dark room, close your eyes for five seconds after Phipps opens the curtains in the first scene. There is also a short (beautiful, if I might add) scene showing how much Robert and Gertrude love each other.
