Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzPeter Finch gives a moving performance as Wilde.
User Review - 8/10 by Marilee AAn excellent portrayal of Wilde by Peter Finch. The first court scene is superb with James Mason as the defending lawyer.
User Review - 6/10 by Adam DA good film with some good performances. Peter Finch is a very capable Wilde. A look back at how a mans life and career could be completely destroyed because of his sexuality.
User Review - 4/10 by David BMust have caused a bit of a stir in 1960. This is not a bad film with some lovely scenes towards the beginning. Once it moves into the courtroom it comes to a grinding halt apart from a lively performance by James Mason. The summing up becomes preachy and heavy going. It does painfully show Wilde sealing his own fate.
User Review - 4/10 by Gregory Wpeter finch is much too masculine to be oscar wilde, and the film in general plays everything far to straight (if you'll pardon the pun). james mason dominates for the short time he's on screen.
