Anything to do with Oscar Wilde is of interest and for that matter Anthony Perkins as well. This made for TV movie staring Perkins, Belinda Bauer, Joseph Bottoms and Michael Ironside with the excellent Olga Karlatos and Caroline Yeager support makes an interesting adaptation of the immortal fable by Oscar Wilde.
Although it is entirely watered down from the original story - Dorian is not nearly as ambiguous, complex, hedonistic, corrupted, and Henry not nearly as manipulative and cynical (and I do miss his epigrams ie "Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.” although we do hear a couple).
I guess the possibilities of taking Wilde’s only novel into interpretive realms is what appeals to me here so I applaud the writers on their effort.
According to Wild the plot was "an idea that is as old as the history of literature but to which I have given a new form".
