Summary: Captures the book's feel wonderfully
Comment: This is an excellent movie. A little gem, quite unknown to me until today, just like the director himself. Directed without any fireworks, just plain and modest narrative genius. Wonderful interpretations from everybody. A delight just to watch the characters interact, and listen to them, regardless of the story itself.
The film is beautiful, and thanks God it long, not like most of this time films that as soon as you are starting to like them it's already ending. Great cast. A moralistic story, a lot of food for thought. Beautiful black and white, beautiful score with small pieces by Chopin and Beethoven. A delight. George Sanders amazed me in his role as an amicable cynic. It just suits him as a glove.

Summary: Outstanding film !
Comment: I buy this Dvd because I remembered watching bits of this film many years ago during my childhood and I must say I was greatly surprised with the quality of the film , the magnificent performances (George Sanders shines) and the amazing script which reflects the essence of Oscar Wilde's celebrated novel. I highly recommend this dvd.

Summary: An excellent movie
Comment: The movie was excellent, the delivery was actually ahead of expected time. Class will show.....keep up the good work. The only thing stopping me from buying more is the exchange rate.
Cheers!

Summary: Great performance & excellent storyline
Comment: For those that like the old black & whites (TCM bufs) this is a great version of the story. I always get a kick out of seeing performances of actors I know of now when they were much younger and Angela Landsbury does a fine job in this performance.
Highly recomend this version!

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: I loved "The Picture of Dorian Gray" movie. It's a wonderful production and depiction of Wilde's book. Maybe Dorian is not as described in the book, however, Hurd Hatfield as Dorian does a great performance. The effect of coloring the picture is great; at the beginning one expects it will be also B&W but then it shows the painting in a vivid Technicolor.
I found this movie a "must" for those who had read the book, and for all Wilde's book lovers.
