TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The original Broadway production of "An Ideal Husband" by Oscar Wilde opened at the Lyceum Theatre on March 12, 1895 and ran for 40 performances. It had another 3 performances at the Harlem Opera House in October, 1895. Broadway revivals were produced in 1918 and 1996.

Vivien Leigh was originally intended for the role of Laura Cheveley.

Twelve British studio hairdressers and make-up men went on strike protesting Paulette Goddard's use of her own hairdresser during this film's production.

First film of Michael Ward.

The large emerald-and-diamond necklace and matching earrings that Mrs Cheveley wears to the ball at the start, was Paulette Goddard's own. It was a gift from one-time husband Charles Chaplin, and Goddard charged the studio a rental fee for its use.

Popular Dialogues

"Laura Cheveley: Do you think it is quite charming of you to be so rude to a woman in your own house? Viscount Arthur Goring: In the case of a very fascinating woman, sex is a challenge, not a defense. Laura Cheveley: I suppose that is meant as a compliment. Oh my dear Arthur, women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That's the difference between the two sexes."

"Mabel Chiltern: Why do you call Lord Goring a good for nothing? The Earl of Caversham: Because he leads such an idle life. Mabel Chiltern: How can you say such a thing? Why, he rides in the Row at ten o'clock in the morning, he goes to the Opera three times a week, he changes his clothes at least five times a day, and he dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?"
