	The Ideal Muslim Husband
		An ideal-Muslim husband is therefore expected to be deeply committed to and involved in the education of all his children - the daughters as much as the son’s.
		An instance of this practice is recorded on the occasion of the signing of the treaty of Hudaibihiyah.
		Here we see a husband who in spite of his love and sympathy for his wives, would not be carried away to commit injustice between them, not put himself into difficulties or wrong -doing in order to satisfy their desires beyond what was necessary.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: An Ideal Husband
		An Ideal Husband is the second turn of the century play (this in 1895 as opposed to David Mamet's The Winslow Boy, also with Jeremy Northam, in 1910) to be adapted and released this summer.

	AN IDEAL HUSBAND
		An Ideal Husband was written and first staged immediately prior to Oscar Wilde's best-known play, The Importance of Being Earnest.
		Constance did not divorce her husband; however, she did change her surname and that of her children to 'Holland." Wilde did in fact neglect his wife and children, but after his expulsion from England, he began to fantasize of returning to the life of husband and father.
		In the end, An Ideal Husband would prove to be the least commercially successful of the four plays produced during Wilde's lifetime, earning him just enough money to take a long vacation in Algiers with his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, where he squandered most of this revenue.

	The Ideal Husband by Pastor Art Kohl
		The husband is to provide food and drink on the table, clothes and shoes on his family, money for taxes, utilities, and insurance, a home, medical needs, educational needs and transportation needs, as well as support the work of God.
		An unhappy mother in our church was heard to say, “You do not know how hard it is with a bunch of little kids and a mortgage.” Her mortgage was much too large for her husband’s paycheck.
		Husbands must realize that their wife has been created by God as a sexual creature as much as the man is. She has sexual needs and needs to be fulfilled.

		A brilliant social satire, An Ideal Husband is the story of Sir Robert Chiltern (David Ledingham) who is "ideal" in the eyes of his wife, Lady Chiltern (Fiona Hutchinson).
		As stated, it is an extremely difficult role that was played to perfection by Martin Shaw in the Hall production and, more recently, by Rupert Everett in the 1999 film version.
		An excellent actor, his realization that Chiltern’s life and career are on the precipice of destruction is heartbreaking.

	SparkNotes: An Ideal Husband: Context
		In schematic terms, this period was distinguished by England's growth as an industrial and imperial giant and an increasingly conservatism in social mores.
		Ideal Husband dramatizes this clash in value systems rather explicitly, continually posing the figure of the dandy--a thinly veiled double of Wilde himself--against a set of more respectable, "ideal" characters.
		In terms of dramatic history, An Ideal Husband should be situated in tension with the popular melodramas and farces that dominated the Anglophone stage of Wilde's day.

		She delivers a delightful interpretation of an amoral woman utilizing cruelty to achieve her desired ends, fitting perfectly into a morally topsy-turvy world which feasts on scandal and the ruination of its own members, yet where a mismatched tea set stands as the ultimate in moral turpitude.
		As a result, "An Ideal Husband" is more likable as a genteel British comedy of manners than the unbridled drawing room farce it seems so often to want to be.

		"An Ideal Husband" at times has a kind of "Masterpiece Theatre" veneer to it, a surface sheen that's a little thick and gloppy.
		Parker, who himself adapted Wilde's play for the movie, takes what to purists may be an unforgivable number of liberties with the story, fleshing out the plot and even adding dialogue.
		But Blanchett is also able to cut through to something that's ineffably touching about the character: "The world seemed to me finer because you were in it," she tells her husband when she learns of his transgressions, and her suffering is easy to read in her liquid eyes.

		As all interactants are affected by the dramatic events, the "ideal husband" remains to be defined and acknowledged.
		Although An Ideal Husband does entertain the viewer with its visual spectacle and its ingenious dialogues (a fact which is indebted to the play), the film is not much more than an exercise in character portrayal and fails to convincingly depict the transformations which the plot is set out to provoke.

	An Ideal Husband at the Colony Theatre: Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		When reflecting years later on his play "An Ideal Husband," Oscar Wilde commented, "Some of its passages seem prophetic of tragedies to come." He was referring to his own downfall due to "gross indecencies" and not to any recent political scandal.
		In this sparkling production of "An Ideal Husband," at the Colony Studio Theatre, the subtext of Wilde’s own life is glossed over in favor of a lighthearted approach.
		She is dull, even duller than her husband, yet this makes her verbatim repetition of Goring’s "Women are not meant to judge us, but to forgive us" speech more tolerable.

	AN IDEAL HUSBAND
		That's the fun of the latest adaption of Oscar Wilde's 1895 play "An Ideal Husband." A story of several characters' reaction to a politically-based flmail scheme, Wilde's delightfully witty play may be less well-known than his more famous "The Importance of Being Earnest," but this version is nonetheless a delight to watch and listen to.
		Wilde, famous for spinning conventional thought onto its head with his witty sayings -- he was the Yogi Bera of his time -- cleverly used the late 19th century piece to attack the stuffy and well- refined conventions of its era -- of course, in a sophisticated fashion -- but it still plays well today.
		With the appropriately lush production and costume designs, decent cinematography and an entertaining and lively score, the film is as much fun to look at as the story is to follow.

		No doubt today's audience will have a very different view of "An Ideal Husband" from the one that watched the opening performance at the Haymarket Theatre on the 3rd January 1895.
		Be it the social dilemma, the political scandal or the somewhat one-sided battle of the sexes, the tolerance of the views expressed in the early twentieth century will be very different as we enter the twenty first century.
		Lady Chiltern, for all her love and admiration of her husband, clearly has a major influence over the innermost conscience of her husband, even to the point of ending his career.

		It’s an ongoing mystery why filmmakers don’t outfit Wilde with a visual style to match his words.
