Wilde

[Jacqueline]

I was prompted to think about this film by the fact that today is Oscar Wilde's birthday.

Has anyone seen the film "Wilde" made in 1997 with Stephen Fry in the title role? It was one I meant to see but missed. The cast list looks pretty impressive:

* Stephen Fry ..... Oscar Wilde
* Jude Law ..... Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas
* Tom Wilkinson ..... John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry
* Jennifer Ehle ..... Constance Lloyd Wilde
* Gemma Jones ..... Sibyl Douglas, Marchioness of Queensberry
* Judy Parfitt ..... Lady Mount-Temple
* Michael Sheen ..... Robbie Ross
* Vanessa Redgrave ..... Jane Francesca Agnes "Speranza", Lady Wilde
* Zoë Wanamaker ..... Ada Leverson
* Ioan Gruffudd ..... John GrayI'd be interested to hear what you thought of it.

Re: Wilde

Yes, I've seen the film, Jacqueline. I thought it was very good indeed, though I think it got mixed reviews.

...Mind you, I like Stephen Fry in pretty much anything!
