I totally agree with you! THe actors/actresses, the settings are phenomenal. Never to be replicated!! THis is my all time favorite version, and the B&W version is the BEST!!!
Lmao The scene where he says that he would give anything for the picture to change, and not him In the book: hes literally crying with tears and all and having a full blown breakdown Here: super chill, small smile on lips, blank stare
Several years after this movie premiered, a friend of Hurd Hatfield's bought the Henrique Medina painting of young Dorian Gray that was used in this movie at an MGM auction, and gave it to Hatfield. On March 21, 2015, the portrait was put up for auction at Christie's in New York City (from the Collection of Robert Hatfield Ellsworth) with a pre-auction estimate of between five thousand and eight thousand dollars. It sold for one hundred forty-nine thousand dollars.
One of my favorite films of all time, a timeless classic, came here because I just found out Angela Lansbury died yesterday, she was very beautiful in this film R.I.P
Although mainly a B&W film, when Dorian's picture is shown, it's in color. The final scene was originally in color, but the color version has somehow been lost and all the prints have it remaining in B&W.
I saw this original black/white MGM film on TCM today. I was shocked to see the changed portrait in color. If this film was shown in theaters at the time, audience would have been in shocked at the colored grotesque portrait too. Surprised to see young famous actors Angela Lansbury, Peter Lawford and Donna Reed.
Well, that's disappointing. But it's not as bad as the 20th Century Fox Storage Fire of 1937, which not only destroyed tons of now lost media, but also killed a 13 year old and injured his Brother and Mother. Old Film was *volatile.*
This 1945 film adaptation of Oscar C Wilde’s book ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ reminds me of the true ugly inner life of a narcissist. You have the shiny beautiful outer packaging that’s presented to the world, but the picture portrays the true ugliness of character beneath the facade...
Angela and Donna Reed were classic beauties. Angela was the poster model for a heart shaped face. Those eyes! Watched a 2018 movie with her, "Buttons: A Christmas Tale" and her narration made the movie special. Loved the escape.
Love the 1945 version with Hurd Hatfield and George Sanders. And the Technicolor scenes of the portrait were classic. Another YT video showed different versions of Oscar Wilde's story. The others pale in comparison. They were overdone with gory makeup and advanced special effects. Thank you for posting.
Check out Angela Lansbury being an absolute stunner. I can sort of see maisie Williams playing a young Angela, although Maisie is now older than Angela was when this was released (she was 20 in 1945)
I only find it with subtitles in my native language: www.classicmovies.ro/load/filme_dupa_ani/1/the_picture_of_dorian_gray_portretul_lui_dorian_gray_1945/60-1-0-1450 You can watch without paying to much attention to subtitles, I think you will understand if english it's your native language.
I keep watching this movie every chance I get. The man that he blackmailed and drove to suicide (to get rid of the artist's body,) what exactly did Dorian have on him????
It could have been anything, but most likely some drug related thing or homosexuality. Oscar Wilde was gay, and back then homosexuality was totally taboo. This whole story is really about that; all these men with a "fascination" with Dorian, remaking about his good looks, etc.
I think the man that was killed had gone into the forbidden room and saw the picture that Dorian didn't want anyone to know about. Dorian was afraid he would tell someone about it and killed him. Then he asked the other guy to help him get rid of the body which he did but it really bothered the guy that he did that and he committed suicide.
Great movie but it's stupid that it's suposed to be hinheard of to look 20 years younger I'm going to look way more than 20 years younger without magic. He looked 22 for the last 20 years my dad is 46 and looks like mid 20s so he's aging as good as him and it's only going to get better. I'm going to look 20s when I'm 50. It would be amazing of he was like 80 or 90 and looked 22 he's almost 40 and looks 22 alot of people 40 look 20s not just like many football players that are 22 look 40s. Maybe back then looking 22 at 40 was hard lol
It isn't Vincent Price's voice but that really would have been a perfect choice. I also think that if Hurd Hatfield wasn't available for this role a young Tyrone Power would have been a good choice too. If you see him in the film "Lloyd's Of London" I'm sure you will agree.
LOL, the right are such snowflakes, they get triggered by films from the 1940s that aren't anything to do with the facile opinions they hold, screech their triggered rage and throw their opinions around like caged chimps hurl their own dung. They want the whole world to be a safe-space and yet claim that it is the left that are easily offended.
Modern versions of this movie fail to capture the haunting tragedy of this story. I really liked this version.
You know where I can find this online ? Been trying to look for it ?
@@Brandon2ne2. Amazon should have it.
I fully agree with you : this movie is a masterpiece !
Sorry we cannot find it on CZcams !
I totally agree with you! THe actors/actresses, the settings are phenomenal. Never to be replicated!! THis is my all time favorite version, and the B&W version is the BEST!!!
I won’t even waste my time looking at modern versions. They will over sexualize and make everything gory and over done.
This is the version of this movie that I find absolutely wonderful! Nothing else compares.
Checkout my novel inspired by the original. "Between Heaven & Hell Is Gray" by J.R. Masterson
I have to agree with you mate. This film is perfection
Book: Golden Locks
The movie adaptions: slick black hair
Lmao
The scene where he says that he would give anything for the picture to change, and not him
In the book: hes literally crying with tears and all and having a full blown breakdown
Here: super chill, small smile on lips, blank stare
Era- chi I know, what's up with that?
I know right, in the book he’s having a breakdown but here he’s emotionless
Looks like Jared Kushner, appropriately enough
Yes lol, he was so dramatic in the book
Just finished reading the book. What a tragedy it was for Dorian Gray.

This dramatization of Lord Henry looks like Robert Downey Jr.

Angela Lansburt was 19 and now she's 94!!
I was surprised when I recognized her! She was a cutie.
Angela and Donna Reed were classic beauties. Angela was the poster model for a heart shaped face. Those eyes! Watched a 2018 movie with her, "Buttons: A Christmas Tale" and her narration made the movie special. Loved the escape.
and now she is dead
Moral is: Don't sell your soul to the devil.
And no one realizes the brilliance of Oscar Wilde!
The book is amazing, dripping with poetic detail
this gave me nightmares for weeks when i snuck into the theater to see it when i was young.
Who all came from Vlog Ceations?
Ross Creations Brought me here

Here bc the lady in ross’s video
Ross creations brought me here
I loved the book so much, I loved the dark academia aesthetic. This movie looks equally amazing
This movie was phenomenal.
Still my favorite version
Hello Jo, How are you doing?
@@Kelly-nm4kw Kelly, you're here!
Lansbury was gorgeous, but so was Peter Lawford.
Lansbury is one of the few actresses I think has never changed.
He was; in the 40s I think he looked a lot like Lee Pace.
I hear it will be hard to sleep for 2 weeks after watching this movie
Ahhhh, I see Ross has sent you here...
@@EvanShepperd Bingo. I guess the same goes for you. I wondered if anyone else would be curious.
Holy shit...Jared Kushner looks exactly like Dorian Gray, maybe he is him!!!😳😳😳
I'm here because of Ross' video
This is easily the best version for me
Who else came from rossses video
i want a 2020 remake with cody fern as dorian!!!
Yes!! Cody Fern would be the perfect Dorian Gray
definitely better than the 2009 movie.
true... 2009 one seems a lot deviated from the book.
Wow way to show Basil's death in the trailer
I wish this original movie in full of The Portrait of Dorian Grey was on utube.
Why not play the original movie dorin grey 1945
MISS ANGELA LANSBURY SUCH A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WOMAN AND ACTRESS
😫😫😫😫😫😫
Check out Angela Lansbury being an absolute stunner.
I can sort of see maisie Williams playing a young Angela, although Maisie is now older than Angela was when this was released (she was 20 in 1945)
yes ross leave your stain mark 0:41
It' the best version of Dorian Grey!
RIP Angela.
I watched this for the first time last night. I was really tuned in. Wonder when they did a modern version and what they would be like.
The 1961 version isn't nearly as good.
There’s actually quite a few remakes, the most recent one was released in 2009.
Does anyone know where can I watch this movie? Please and thank
sorry, but this is a pretty obscure movie so you'll have to buy it to watch. Luckily though just type it in youtube and it only cost three dollars
On-demand has it.
DVD..ebay/amazon
Watching it right now with my teach and classmate Movie class
Great movie
Qué copias maravillosas ...ojala pudieran poner subtítulos .

Bea de Buenos Aires.

EXCELLENT FILM 10 STARS
Penny Dreadful was awesome

Oh Angela!
The Weeknd type beat
This remake was good done.
Yes, it is. Tho Hatfield is an asexual "mask."
well done
Does anyone know where i can find this movie??
I only find it with subtitles in my native language: www.classicmovies.ro/load/filme_dupa_ani/1/the_picture_of_dorian_gray_portretul_lui_dorian_gray_1945/60-1-0-1450
You can watch without paying to much attention to subtitles, I think you will understand if english it's your native language.
@@andreeavirto3231 Thank you for being so kind
There , THEr is. Dorian Grey. See him there in the corner

Random thought: it sounds like Vincent Price's voice narrating the trailer. Probably not, but it would be fitting if it were.
Of course!! Who doesn't love that classic voice?? Even Michael Jackson couldn't resist!)
"Your body starts to shiver/For no mere mortal can resist/The evil of...the thriller! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
If not, his voice would become perfect in it.
It isn't Vincent Price's voice but that really would have been a perfect choice. I also think that if Hurd Hatfield wasn't available for this role a young Tyrone Power would have been a good choice too. If you see him in the film "Lloyd's Of London" I'm sure you will agree.
It was Sir Cedric Hardwicke.
Architect
Mindxcontrol
Don't think stupid
I ❤Basil
good but completely eradicates the homosexual undertones and dialogue which underpin Wilde's novel... :P that's the 1940s for you
Dorian Gray = Barack Obama or Joe Biden
Why’d you bring politics into this? That’s so unnecessary
