Synopsis

Another of Wilde's social satires, 'An Ideal Husband' revolves around the lives of two men, successful political figure Sir Robert Chiltern and his friend the uninspired but utterly charming Lord Arthur Goring.

Chiltern's life is perfect thanks to the help of his loving and brilliant wife Gerturde and the support of his quick witted sister Mabel.

Goring's life is one of lounging, flirting with Mabel, and avoiding his father's insistence that he should marry.

The world of these men is turned upside down by the arrival of old acquaintance Mrs. Laura Cheveley who has come with blackmail in mind.

Chiltern could lose everything including Gertrude. It is up to his wife and Goring to confront this dilemma, but it could risk Goring's chances to finally win over Mabel.

As the comments and lies begin to fly about, it's revealed that the man thought to be perfect is flawed, the man with all the flaws must do something right, and the question remains: what makes an ideal husband?

While the soundtrack of An Ideal Husband effectively sets the tone for the film, some tracks feel repetitive and lack the innovation needed to truly stand out. The music, at times, fails to fully immerse the audience in the unfolding drama, missing opportunities to underscore key moments with memorable compositions. Despite its overall coherence with the narrative, the soundtrack could benefit from more diversity in styles and a bolder approach to complement the nuanced performances of the actors.
