This is just too much fun. It has Angela Lansbury, Donna Reed, George Sanders, Peter Lawford. The story is classic Oscar Wilde: the young Dorian Gray wishes that he could stay forever young and let his painting do all the aging for him. And that's what happens. He lives a life of the most extravagant debauchery (that we are left to imagine - it is NEVER described), while the painting hides in his old schoolroom turning more and more monstrous. This is an unusual horror film, and really good. It has amazing cinematography with great lighting, shots filled with symbolism, and the acting is fantastic! What more could you want?
