Goofs: Continuity: Lord Goring’s jacket is buttoned, then unbuttoned, then buttoned again as he explains Lady Chiltern’s letter to Lord Chiltern, Mabel and Lady Chiltern herself near the end of the film.
“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.
