- The Picture of Dorian Gray is a 1945 American horror-drama film based on Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel of the same name. Released in March 1945 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the film is directed by Albert Lewin and stars George Sanders as Lord Henry Wotton and Hurd Hatfield as Dorian Gray. Shot primarily in black-and-white, the film features four colour inserts in 3-strip Technicolor of Dorian's portrait; these are a special effect, the first two inserts are the original portrait and the second two after a major period of degeneration then recovery It is London, 1886. Dorian Gray (Hurd Hatfield) is a handsome and wealthy young man. While generally intelligent, he is naive and easily manipulated. These faults lead to his spiral into sin and ultimate misery.
While posing for a painting by his friend Basil Hallward (Lowell Gilmore), Gray meets Hallward's friend Lord Henry Wotton (George Sanders). The cynical but witty Wotton persuades Gray the only worthwhile life is dedicated to pleasure, because "...what the gods give they quickly take away." After Wotton convinces Gray that youth and beauty will bring him everything he desires, Dorian wishes his portrait could age instead of him. He makes the wish openly in the presence of an Egyptian cat statue with supposed mystical powers to grant wishes.
Dorian visits a tavern, where he falls in love with a beautiful singer named Sibyl Vane (Angela Lansbury). He starts a romance with her, despite disapproval from Sibyl's brother James (Richard Fraser), and they are soon engaged. Though initially contented, Dorian is again persuaded by Lord Henry to pursue a more hedonistic lifestyle. Dorian sends Sibyl a hurtful letter, ending their relationship and "compensating" her with a large payment in cash.The next morning, Gray finds his own face unchanged but the portrait has changed and “the lines of cruelty about the mouth were unmistakable.” He starts to realize his wish to the cat may be real. Lord Henry arrives with news that a heartbroken Sibyl Vane killed herself the previous night, after receiving Dorian's dismissive letter. Gray is at first shocked and guilty but soon adopts Lord Henry's indifferent manner. He surprises Hallward by going to the opera that evening. Gray has the portrait locked away in his old school room and disguises its location by firing servants who moved the painting. He becomes even more dedicated to a sinful and heartless life.***the copy rights are not my I do not earn anything with this it is a hobby of mine *** - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Angela's second film and her second Oscar nomination. Thus began a long and rewarding career. She passed away today at 96. She will be missed but thankfully much of her work will be with us throughout our lives! R.I.P.
I felt overwhelmed by joy when i first heard this song. its soooso beautiful
Chopin’s 24th Prelude sometimes called “The Storm” - the piece here is somewhat condensed - Vladimir Ashkenazy’s version is my favorite (on CZcams) - left hand is very difficult (to me) - but played on a superior piano in a room with good acoustics it is a stunning listening experience.
I finally found this .. should not be surprised it's Chopin
It's exactly the scene I was looking for (I forgot the name of Chopin's composition). They are so rare on yt for this movie since it is not well known as far as I know. What a coincidence. Thank you !
No thanks my grandmother is also called walter

Chopin's poignant music is made to sound creepy ... while being performed by the creepy Dorian character...🧟♀️
je cherchais cet extrait depuis si longtemps... je l'ai écouté en classe au collège ou lycée mais ce morceau est resté dans la tête sans savoir ce que c'était... trop beau et triste...
bonne soirée c'est une si belle pièce chaque fois Salutations des Pays-Bas
A dialog in this scene is used in the song "Eternal Unrest" from Aquilus' album Bellum I. I suggest you take a look.
thanks i will listen
