Ivan Le Lorraine Albright's famous painting of the decayed Dorian Gray, which took approximately one year to complete, is now owned by the Art Institute of Chicago, where it has been on display for many years. Albright's twin brother Malvin, better known as a sculptor, was also commissioned to create a painting of the young Dorian for this movie, although his work went unused. The March 27, 1944, issue of Life Magazine included a story and photos of the brothers working on their paintings for this movie. Henrique Medina created the initial portrait of young Dorian that sets the story in motion.
Several years after this movie premiered, a friend of Hurd Hatfield's bought the Henrique Medina painting of young Dorian Gray that was used in this movie at an MGM auction, and gave it to Hatfield. On March 21, 2015, the portrait was put up for auction at Christie's in New York City (from the Collection of Robert Hatfield Ellsworth) with a pre-auction estimate of between five thousand and eight thousand dollars. It sold for one hundred forty-nine thousand dollars.
Oscar Wilde's Dorian was blond-haired, blue-eyed, and highly emotional, but Writer and Director Albert Lewin's conception of Dorian was of an icy, distant character.
In Oscar Wilde's original novel, Sybil was a sophisticated Shakespearean actress, not a vaudevillian waif. It is her willingness to give up her career, not her spending the night with Dorian, that causes him to break off with her.
In the novel, Sybil Vane called Dorian Gray "Prince Charming", not "Sir Tristan".
"Lord Henry Wotton: "If I could get back my youth, I'd do anything in the world except get up early, take exercise or be respectable.""
"Dorian Gray: If only it was the picture who was to grow old, and I remain young. There's nothing in the world I wouldn't give for that. Yes, I would give even my soul for it."
