Sir Robert Chiltern (Northam) is a successful Government minister with a loving wife. He is threatened when a lady (Moore) appears with damning evidence of a past misdeed. Sir Robert turns for help to his friend Lord Goring (Everett), an apparently idle philanderer, who takes matters in hand in this wicked yet touching comedy, based on the play by Oscar Wilde.

Distributor Notes: An Ideal Husband

Sexy leading man Rupert Everett (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING) heads an acclaimed all-star cast in this wonderfully witty story of decadence, romance, and scandal! Sir Robert (Jeremy Northam -- HAPPY TEXAS, MIMIC) is a highly respected politician whose spotless reputation is the pride of his beautiful wife (Cate Blanchett -- ELIZABETH) and adoring sister (Minnie Driver -- GOOD WILL HUNTING, GROSSE POINTE BLANK). But when an old acquaintance (Julianne Moore -- BOOGIE NIGHTS, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK) threatens to reveal a dark secret from Robert's past, only his womanizing party-loving best friend Goring (Everett) is scheming and dishonest enough to come to his aid! Overwhelmingly acclaimed by critics -- you'll love this fresh, funny motion picture and its stellar ensemble as they elevate the art of blackmail to an elegant game of wit and passion!
