Summary: New DVD release with commentary is announced
Comment: The classic moral/horror tale is to finally be released on DVD by Warner Home Video. The story has a Jekyl and Hyde type quality with Dorian making a wish after his portrait is painted that he will remain eternally young while his portrait grows old. George Sanders plays Dorian's "friend", Lord Henry Wotton, who tempts Dorian to live a life of debauchery. Sanders was born to plays such roles. Dorian follows Wotton's advice with gusto, living a rather secret second life. All the while the portrait grows hideous in appearance, mirroring the state of Dorian's soul, while Dorian retains his youthful angelic appearance. It is a single DVD release with the following extra features:

Cast commentaries by Angela Lansbury and film historian/screenwriter Steve Haberman
1945 MGM short Stairway To Light
1945 MGM cartoon Quiet Please!
Theatrical trailer

I am particularly interested to hear Lansbury's comments on the film. She and Hurd Hatfield, the actor who portrayed Dorian, remained friends from the time they made this film until Hatfield's death in 1998. I am sure she will have many interesting things to say.

Summary: Earnest, plodding and lowbrow
Comment: All the life and demonic intelligence has been drained from the story. Leave it to Hollywood.
The exaggerated grotesqueness of the portrait is a terrible lapse of directorial judgment.

Summary: Give me a D, Give me a V, Give me another D
Comment: What's that spell? DVD! I agree with all of the positive reviews of this film. It has been voted by the AFI as one of the top 100 thillers of all time so why not release this excellent film on DVD. Here is my vote!
