After his friend Lord Henry Wotton (George Sanders) talks him into it, London aristocrat Dorian Gray (Hurd Hatfield) commissions artist Basil Hallward (Lowell Gilmore) to paint his portrait. When the picture is completed, Gray makes a pact with the Devil to stay eternally young. Years go by, and others grow older, but Gray seems to get younger. Meanwhile, the portrait is hidden away, but it shows Gray's face growing old and disfigured. He murders Hallward to ensure that his secret will not be told and then falls in love with Hallward's niece Gladys (Donna Reed). But, Gladys' ex-boyfriend David (Peter Lawford), whose Aunt Sibyl committed suicide when Gray betrayed her, is suspicious of Gray and sets out to reveal his true, evil nature. Gray: "To get back my youth, I'd do anything in the world–except get up early, take exercise, or be respectable." Angela Lansbury received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
