An Ideal Husband
1999
**
Director: Oliver Parker
Cast: Rubert Everett, Jeremy Northam, Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver

Corruption, blackmail, and old and new lovers are all par for the course in an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play. The cast is wonderful, apart from the badly miscast Minnie Driver, but they are all wasted in this dreadfully artificial romantic comedy.
