The
Picture Of Dorian Gray (1945) Available on all-region DVD
Synopsis: Although MGM had
enjoyed success with lavish literary adaptations such as David Copperfield and
Pride and Prejudice, this big-budget version of Oscar Wilde's only novel was a
rather curious venture for a studio that prided itself on family entertainment.
But flamboyant screenwriter/director Albert Lewin turned in a
compelling picture that teeters between sophistication and vulgarity. Hurd
Hatfield gives a muted performance as Dorian and is thus easily surpassed by
Angela Lansbury, who plays the chirpy music-hall singer with whom he falls in
lust, and by George Sanders as the languidly witty Lord Henry Wotton.
The picture earned co-art director Cedric Gibbons one of his record 40
Oscar nominations.
Cast: George Sanders, Hurd Hatfield, Donna
Reed, Angela Lansbury, Peter Lawford Runtime: 110
