Plots(1)
The Trials of Oscar Wilde chronicles the true story of the renowned playwright’s courtroom clashes with the Marquess of Queensberry and the tragic turn his life takes because of it. Peter Finch gives a fascinating, BAFTA-winning portrayal of the brilliant Irish writer, who brings a libel suit against the Marquess (Lionel Jeffries) after he accuses Wilde of seducing his son, Lord Alfred Douglas (John Fraser). The hearing results in Wilde’s own scandalous trial and prosecution for gross indecency and sodomy. (Kino Lorber)
