Storyline
Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Lord Henry Wotton: [dismissively] 'Conscience.' It's just a polite word for 'cowardice.' No civilized man regrets a pleasure.

Trivia
This is the second film starring Rachel Hurd-Wood (Sybil Vane) that involves an eternally youthful male lead. The first was Peter Pan. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: (At 16:00) When Dorian, Basil, and Lord Wotton are out for drinks in the bar/music hall you see Lord Wotton pouring alcohol from a "Hendrick's Gin" bottle; (it is a very distinctive dark glass bottle with a very distinctive diamond shaped label). "Hendrick's Gin" was not produced until 1999. The bottle is a standard apothecary bottle, and the label is also standard for the times. The bottle for Hendrick's is made to look like an old time apothecary bottle. See more »Quotes
Dorian Gray: [trying to decline women and drink at a brothel] Well, perhaps I have a stronger conscience.Lord Henry Wotton: [dismissively] 'Conscience.' It's just a polite word for 'cowardice.' No civilized man regrets a pleasure.
