Sir Robert Chiltern is a successful Government minister, well-off and with a loving wife. All this is threatened when Mrs Cheveley appears in London with damning evidence of a past misdeed. Sir Robert turns for help to his friend Lord Goring, an apparently idle philanderer and the despair of his father. Goring knows the lady of old, and, for him, takes the whole thing pretty seriously.

Notes
"The BBC produced a version [of the play] which was broadcast in 1969 as part of their Play of the Month series. ... It is available on DVD as part of The Oscar Wilde Collection box-set." [Wikipedia] The Wikipedia reference appears to have the wrong director and cast. No reference in IMDB was found

An Ideal Husband is said to be Oscar Wilde's second most popular play, after The Importance of Being Earnest. It is a satire on politics and hypocritical upper classes, especially of Britain. I found it witty, but not as funny as The Importance of Being Earnest.
It was during the production of the play in 1895 that Wilde was arrested for "gross indecency" (homosexuality) and his name was publicly removed from the play. Wilde is eventually imprisoned. See Movie Wilde
