00:00He's been beautiful and 21 for almost half a century, but what was the price of eternal
00:08youth?
00:09I would give anything to stay like that.
00:11He's fallen in love with your painting.
00:13Oh, but his own beauty, I don't think he realized before.
00:17I would give my soul to stay like that.
00:25Dorian Gray, to keep alive his mortal youth, he sold his immortal soul, and with it he
00:31abandoned forever the innocence of young love.
00:34The subject is unique, an extraordinary combination of pure beauty and male virility, incredibly
00:41sensual, timeless.
00:42And eternally youthful.
00:45I don't know about eternity, but he'll certainly do for the moment.
00:49Look, you little fool, she's offering me a deal for half a million dollars.
00:53Maybe I should tell her.
00:54He's not only beautiful, Mrs. Ruxton, but he's got the biggest.
00:59Everything is yours.
01:00Take it.
01:01Enjoy it.
01:02I envy you.
01:03Dorian Gray, a man who discovered that to stay young forever is to experience every
01:12human degradation.
01:13Only the portrait reflected his decay.
01:28What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
01:34Dorian Gray, the modern screen version of Oscar Wilde's immortal classic.
01:39Starring Helmut Berger, acclaimed for his performance in The Damned.
01:43I'll never change.
01:46He may, but not me.
01:49Herbert Lomb, the cynic who lived only for pleasure.
01:52What is vice anyway?
01:54Simply pleasure without shame.
01:56Richard Todd, the painter.
01:59That's not my work.
02:00See what we've created together.
02:07A desperate journey into the depths of despair and damnation.
02:13There is no escape, Dorian.
02:16It's your fault.
02:17You and that bloody stinking portrait.
02:20See both sides of Dorian Gray and thank God you're only young once.
