'Oscar Wilde' was along with 'The Trials of Oscar Wilde', one of two films about the authors 1895 "homosexuality trails" to come out in 1960. I found out after I started watching that this is considered the lesser of the two films. Surprisingly dull for a movie about a famously witty man.
Wilde was 40 when the trials where held, Robert Morley 28 when he first played the part on the stage, here he is 52 and arguably looks older. This movie was made too late, but also couldn't have been made much earlier when the production code still had a full set of teeth. **
