00:00If only the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now, for that I would

00:26give everything. There's nothing in the whole world I would not give. I would give my soul

00:31for that.

00:34The vain jealousy which prompted Dorian Gray to utter this fateful prayer was destined

00:38to sweep him into a life so fraught with vice and evil that its marks became horrible to

00:44behold. For the mad wish of Dorian Gray was granted through some supernatural miracle,

00:50and day by day he watched his sins etch themselves upon his painted portrait while he himself

00:55stayed young and handsome. Every vile thought and act, every criminal deed, left its mark

01:01upon the painted canvas that was to bear the burden of his shame. Down to depths of degradation,

01:08frightful to conceive, went Dorian Gray, seeking new outlets to satisfy his passion for pleasure.

01:14His extraordinary visits into the strange world of crime and sin became notorious, and

01:19when he reappeared again in society, men would whisper to each other in corners or look at

01:25him with searching eyes. Women, who for his sake had set convention at defiance, were seen

01:31to grow pale if Dorian Gray entered the room. What was this strange fascination this man held

01:37for everybody? To what limits of evil did he drag those he knew? Men and women alike all fell

01:44under the spell of his charm, and yet to know him was to court shame and disaster.
