7/10
An interesting and intelligent one hour version of DORIAN

Saw this on Youtube recently. Good adaptation. They double the part of Sybil Vane to also portray the girl in the country. There is one part of the novel that they leave out but I'll let you see it and pick it out ! It doesn't really mar the story at all. Unfortunately the Youtube print is very bad. The audio is fine but the picture is extremely poor. But it is an interesting and intelligent addition to the DORIAN canon.

George C. Scott is terrific as Lord Henry.

I gave it a 7 because of the poor picture quality. And I believe the visuals of the portrait are important in this version because there seems to be close-ups at times. Unfortunately this is when the picture quality is at its worst.
