Daily Cinema: The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)
George Sanders co-stars in this film as the ball who gets this film rolling, the pleasure-loving Lord Henry. Lord Henry meets Dorian, a young, handsome but gullible young man, while the latter is having his portrait painted and convinces Dorian that his age and looks are all he needs in life despite Dorian's intelligence. Fully on board, Dorian expresses his desire that his portrait could show the ravages of age rather than him, but makes that wish around an ancient Egyptian relic, which grants him the desire. After the woman he loves commits suicide, Dorian throws himself into the pleasure-loving life of debauchery Lord Henry talked so fondly of and as the years pass, the portrait eventually changes so much that even Dorian cannot recognize himself in it any longer. Even as a middle-aged man, his outer appearance is frozen in time, while the portrait reflects the ugliness inside of him. I loved the concept of this movie and originally planned to watch it a few months ago, but I think I fell asleep. lol
