The Picture of Dorian Gray (1973)

Not As Good As I Remembered

This one I was planning on watching again after not seeing it in years but I ended up skimming though it because I found it not as good as I was remembering it was.

The movie has a the look and feel of an older TV show or older soap opera. It felt very stagy and didn't play out as well as I had remembered. I guess some movies really are best left to a childhood memory. It's a shame I wasn't as happy with this film as I once was.

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and Dorian Gray (2009) I have both enjoyed very much. This 1973 version will still be a good childhood memory for me, just not one I would care to watch these days.

5/10
