The Trials of Oscar Wilde (1960) Queer Film (C)

The other 1960 Oscar Wilde movie, The Trials of Oscar Wilde. Directed by Ken Hughes, with Peter Finch as Wilde, John Fraser as Bosie, Lionel Jeffries as Queensberry and James Mason as Sir Edward Carson. The film was released by Warwick Films (Cubby Broccoli and Irving Allen) one week after Oscar Wilde. It is clearly the more expensive movie, filmed in Technicolor and featuring a large cast. However, because the story is airbrushed to the point of uncertainty, it pales by comparison.
