This was an ok adaptation of the classic Oscar Wilde novel about a man who retains his youth while Dorian's portrait reflects his monstrous soul. I just read the novel so there were a few things that bugged me mainly the addition of Donna Reed's character. I didn't find it necessary. I also would have liked Lord Henry a little bit more and some additional quotes from him. Angela Lansbury does an all right job as the rejected lover. The painting of Dorian Gray turned evil is pretty cool though. I think that Hollywood needs to redo this one. It would have been awesome with Jude Law twenty years ago.
