The Sins of Dorian Gray ★ 1982 (PG)

A modernized adaptation of “The Portrait of Dorian Grey” by Oscar Wilde, with Dorian as a beautiful woman who remains young for 30 years, while a video screen test ages, like the original character's mirror image. Might have been intriguing and stylish; instead, only disappointing and incompetent. 95m/C VHS . Belinda Bauer, Joseph Bottoms, Anthony Perkins; D: Tony Maylam. TV
