Oscar Wilde's only novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," was brought to the screen by M-G-M in 1945 under the able direction of Albert Lewin, who also wrote the screenplay. It is in effect a horror film about idle wealth, privilege, and debauchery in Victorian England, but also is a cautionary tale about the unintended consequences of getting what one wishes for. The Picture of Dorian Gray is now available in a stunning Blu-ray from the Warner Archive.
