Trivia:
The producers, Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli took a chance and financed the film themselves. The film dealt with Oscar Wilde’s homosexuality, so very few theaters would play the film. It almost put the Producers to bankruptcy, and broke up the partnership between them. But in Europe it was a great artistic success and won several foreign awards. moreFAQ

After seeing this fabulous turn-of-the-century courtroom drama, I am inspired to read everything I can lay my hands on of this man's work. The unjust and embarassing ordeal he underwent was petty and totally unthinkable in today's tolerant society. Like many misunderstood artists, Wilde was percieved as a "pervert" by the public for his so-called escapades. Save it, Nineteenth-century England. We are not dealing with Michael Jackson. This film contains one scene in particular that makes my skin crawl. Oscar is coming home once his bail is paid for and walks in on a crude auctioneer (think Bert from Mary Poppins as a vile a-hole) selling his prized possessions. I was outraged for him! And yet, Wilde maintains a dignified demeanor throughout. You were too good for them, Oscar!
