An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (1969 TV) -- part 7/8

Margaret Leighton ... Mrs. Cheveley
Jeremy Brett ... Vicount Goring
Erik Chitty ... Phipps
Charles Carson ... The Earl of Caversham
Susan Hampshire ... Mabel Chiltern


Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. That is the reason I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.

--Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray"

Gosh Jeremy is beautiful

Ahh, I especially love from 7:00 to 7:30 or so--Jeremy's acting is so brilliant here, it's a true actor who knows how to listen.

You can even see him read the newspaper first before his father finishes reading, and then gradually change to just listening in satisfaction. Ah, I love him.
