Plot Summary for The Picture of Dorian Gray
Innocent young Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by a close friend. Soon after, under the influence of amoral Lord Henry Wotton, he jilts his fiancée, leading to her suicide. This is the start of a life of increasing debauchery, Gray realising that the outward signs of this are apparent only in the portrait. Eventually the picture, secreted in his childhood playroom, becomes almost hideous to behold.

O que eu fabuloso neste filme todo realisado em Preto e Branco exceto o retrato, que nos é mostrado em Technicolor , foi pintado por Henrique Medina, pintor português, muito em voga na Hollywood dos anos 40.
