Would you sell your soul to stay young forever? In Oscar Wilde’s famous novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a handsome young man’s wish for eternal youth is granted while his portrait ages in his place. As Dorian indulges in a life of hedonism, his portrait reveals the grotesque toll of his moral corruption. Join Michael Knowles and Will Witt as they discuss this beloved novel and explore its insights into the dangers of vanity, immorality, and the ultimate cost of a life without virtue.

Great movie. A very young Angela Lansbury, and some classic George Sanders. The portrait was by Ivan Albright, father-in-law of a Sec. of State.

Lately, I’ve noticed that people’s character comes out in their faces as they age. Tyrus (The Five) said how pretty Kamala is, t’other day. I think her wickedness is becoming more apparent in her looks.
