The Picture of Dorian Gray

Director: Albert Lewin Cast: George Sanders, Hurd Hatfield, Donna Reed, Angela Lansbury, Peter Lawford ABD, 1945, 110' 1945,110', United States, Black and White, Color English with Turkish subtitles

Hurd Hatfield essays the title character, a London aristocrat who would sell his soul to remain handsome and young-and, in a manner of speaking, he does just that. Under the influence of his decadent (albeit witty) friend Lord Henry Wotton (George Sanders), Dorian Gray becomes the embodiment of virtually every sin known to man. The greatest of his sins is vanity: Gray commissions artist Basil Hallward (Lowell Gilmore) to paint his portrait. Admiring his own painted countenance, Gray silently makes a demonic pact. The years pass: everyone grows older but Gray, who seemingly gets younger and more good-looking every day.
