An Ideal Husband. Play by Oscar Wilde. Film version (1947).
Audio: English. Subtitles: English.
𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: The Automatic Translation function for subtitles works surprisingly well if the original subtitles are of good quality themselves (but not if the original version has been automatically generated). In the present case, essays with automatic translation into Spanish, French, and German have proved quite satisfactory for most of the text.
Sir Robert and Lady Chiltern form an ideal couple.
Sir Robert is very successful, well on the way to the highest political positions.
Lady Chiltern, who puts her husband on a high pedestal, has retained the very strict moral principles which she was taught in her youth.
This Idyllic scene is thoroughly perturbed by the irruption of Mrs. Cheveley, a rather mysterious society lady. She is in a position to blackmail Sir Robert, because she has proof of an indelicacy he committed when he was an ambitious, penniless young man.
Lord Goring, a flippant society gadabout whom everyone – especially his father, Lord Caversham – considers no better than a lightheaded young fool, takes matters in hand, and intervenes decisively.
