Sunday Matinee Classics: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Here is the haunting Oscar Wilde story of man whose painting ages while he retains his youth. The brilliant Academy Award winning black-and-white photography in this 1945 classic tale and all production values work in service to the moral message of the film. The starring role of Dorian is perfectly acted, understated but ultimately devastating. Hurd Hatfield accomplished in The Picture of Dorian Gray the same apex that Anthony Perkins later reached in Psycho. For both actors, their riveting performances were unforgettable moments in classic film. Before and after commentaries are included.

Note: This screening is intended for Adult audiences.
