Wilde vs. Queensberry

Wilde (1997), clip with Stephen Fry and Tom Wilkinson and Jude Law, at about the 50:00 mark of the original movie. Segment used in a Rhetoric class to show an on-screen bit of argument, discuss the meaning of libel and slander, to advise never engaging in an argument when the facts aren’t on your side, and to give a real-world example on why one should always check one’s spelling (there’s only one ’m’ in sodomite--don’t be famous for messing that up).
