Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: This film is clearly a bit slow paced for today's standards. However, it provides today's viewers with an almost perfect script, acting, and story. This is one of those rare (very rare indeed) films in which you will be subjected to a deep philosophical discussion about what is good or bad under human standards, while simultaneously it will be absolutely enjoyable. Very nice to watch a young and nice looking Angela Lansbury, subsequently the star of "Murder, She Wrote". Very good image and sound in this DVD transfer from analog materials. English, French and Spanish subtitles are provided.

Summary: The Picture of Dorian Gray
Comment: Actors are wonderful, but wish more attention had been given to Dorian's evil deeds. Also the painting could have been more realistic showing his demise instead of almost cartoon-like. I think he could have looked a lot more scary and evil.

Summary: Captures the book's feel wonderfully
Comment: This is an excellent movie. A little gem, quite unknown to me until today, just like the director himself. Directed without any fireworks, just plain and modest narrative genius. Wonderful interpretations from everybody. A delight just to watch the characters interact, and listen to them, regardless of the story itself.
The film is beautiful, and thanks God it long, not like most of this time films that as soon as you are starting to like them it's already ending. Great cast. A moralistic story, a lot of food for thought. Beautiful black and white, beautiful score with small pieces by Chopin and Beethoven. A delight. George Sanders amazed me in his role as an amicable cynic. It just suits him as a glove.

Summary: Outstanding film !
Comment: I buy this Dvd because I remembered watching bits of this film many years ago during my childhood and I must say I was greatly surprised with the quality of the film , the magnificent performances (George Sanders shines) and the amazing script which reflects the essence of Oscar Wilde's celebrated novel. I highly recommend this dvd.

Comment: The movie was excellent, the delivery was actually ahead of expected time. Class will show.....keep up the good work. The only thing stopping me from buying more is the exchange rate.
Cheers!
