Reviews for The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Picture of Dorian Gray isn't awful, though it's certainly an instance in which an outright debacle would have made a much more interesting film.
...dramatic, elegant, witty, thoughtful, and terrifically photographed.
Excellent adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic story. Watch for the creative use of color in the otherwise B&W production.
Sterling adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 1891 novel about a handsome young Victorian aristocrat.
