Movie: The Picture of Dorian Gray

You thought the book was freaky? Hurd Hatfield and George Sanders star in this 1945 adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s elegant horror yarn of a handsome young man who makes an infernal bargain to retain his good looks — although a painting of him starts to reflect the inner rot of his soul. Supporting actress Angela Lansbury snagged an Oscar nomination. Donna Reed and Peter Lawford also co-star. (TCM)
