A romantic and sentimental comedy set at the turn of the 19th century, An Ideal Husband delves into themes of love, passion, and betrayal among the aristocracy. Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam), a brilliant politician and a perfect gentleman, is the ideal husband for the charming Lady Chiltern (Cate Blanchett). They have a widely envied marriage until charming Mrs. Cheveley (Julianne Moore) appears with the intention of revealing a dark secret from Chiltern's past. When his world seems to be falling apart, Chiltern turns to his lifelong friend Lord Arthur Goring (Rupert Everett), the most eligible bachelor in town. Goring soon finds himself caught up in a web of lies, temptations, and secret liaisons. Furthermore, the persistent charms of Sir Robert's sister Mabel (Minnie Driver) are becoming a serious threat to his much-cherished bachelorhood. Using political intrigue and clever wit, An Ideal Husband draws a picture of a society struggling with issues still valid today. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, All Movie Guide

Handsome Rupert Everett stars alongside an all-star cast in this hilariously decadent tale of dark secrets and shady scheming, arriving on DVD from Walt Disney Video. Presented in the original 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen format (enhanced for widescreen TVs) and featuring a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, this disarmingly charming tale of blackmail and deception offers no subtitles and a production featurette as the singular extra feature. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
