This is the best reciting of this poem I've ever heard! And that is coming from the prosecutor! Thank you for posting!

I was fortunate to have seen Peter Finchs performance when the film "The Trials of Oscar Wilde" was on release in the "60s". The performance by all the actors was absolutely brilliant - John Fraser as "Bosie" was superb as was Lionel Jeffries as the Marquis of Queensberry and Peter Finchs performance still resonates after all these years,a marvellous actor who left us too soon. Thank you for posting.

hey,, the movie was on Mgm network this week, Mister Finch never said, I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore, but ironically that is what Oscar Wilde did and it may have bit him in the butt? Oscar has some of the best quotes of all time

I believe Oscar Wilde was a romantic who did not particularly care for money and the trappings of fame and would inevitably destroy himself and his great talent in the pursuit of what he may well have considered the only thing that is worth while. Best.JazzKeyboardist1

Been having trouble posting a comment here, especially a reply to LuborFiedler. You can find the film at TMC's website. It's not a very good DVD release. Looks like some small distributor picked it up, maybe after copyright expiration or something. Either way, it is available on DVD.

Hey, the movie was on MGM cable this week and I always thought the guy was brilliantly crazy and had my admiration and sympathy until he may of said famously on the stand,that he wouldn't kiss that guy because he was ugly.. That is just funny to me

The Finch version was much better than Stephen Fry version. Fry did gays no favour with the seedy scene where two gays are hammering away at each other in bed while Wilde sits in a chair watching like a voyeur. No "pure love" there..

But that was the truth. Wilde was hooked up with underage working class boys. That you have chosen to make Wilde a saint is your own issue.
