PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (1945). Top notch production details cannot save how incredibly dull the film is. Hurd Hatfield has absolutely no presence as the titular character and the majority of the film involves people conversing on what an horrible person DG is. Have read in some books how this could be similar to DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE, but at least in the latter, things happen. George Sanders plays another overbearing Cad-quite obnoxious too-and for Me, a young Angela Lansbury is the only reason to check this out; she is very good. **
