The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) is a historical supernatural film noir drama adaptation of the great decadent novel by the fop himself, the dandy of the decade, the finesse of the fin de siècle himself, Oscar Wilde.
Noir and special effects and noir and colour noir, and a peculiar observation that like The Woman in White (1949) it's a novel adaptation that stretches the patience of its period, proving words provide girth and are worth their weight in those heavy heavy reels and our tendency to like em short.
