Donna Reed and Hurd Hatfield
In one of the most mesmerizing films from classic Hollywood, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a detestable man (Dorian Gray, played to perfection by Hurd Hatfield) somehow keeps his youthful appearance and innocent looks. That’s where the “Picture” comes into play. It slowly but surely reveals to everyone the ugliness that lies within Dorian Gray.
The cast also includes Donna Reed, Angela Lansbury, George Sanders, and Peter Lawford. Unfortunately (in spite of being absolutely radiant in the film and adding so much to the magic), Donna Reed apparently didn’t enjoy making this film. She had originally been promised the role that went to Angela Lansbury, Sibyl Vane.
You can buy the wonderful The Picture of Dorian Gray on dvd (Amazon link) or watch the film on Prime Video.
