Screen captures

Basil Hallward is an artist who becomes infatuated with Dorian's beauty. Dorian helps Basil to realize his artistic potential, as Basil's portrait of Dorian proves to be his finest work. -- Wikipedia page for Oscar Wilde's novel

One reviewer (Craig Butler, All Movie Guide) noted that "this version of the much-filmed Oscar Wilde tale is in many ways the most faithful to Wilde's original story." In addition, it "also consciously makes overt the homosexual undertones of the story, to mixed effect." The made-for-TV production feels clunky sometimes, but the fine cast makes up for it. "Jeremy Brett, despite an unfortunate hairdo, is sterling as Hallward, especially in the important 'confession' scene."
