The Picture Of Dorian Gray (1945)

'The Picture (but it's a painting) Of Dorian Gray' is a film that's basically a predecessor to The Twilight Zone. There's a devil's deal which comes with some sort of caveat that a moral lesson can be learned from. The small use of color film in this B&W movie is striking, the final form of the picture (painting) is startling, and the dialogue is biting. FYI, there is a heavily implied idea that a ancient God in a cat statue grants Dorain's wish.

I've loved this movie since I was a child. It is absolutely wonderful. The acting is incredible. And the image of that painting once it's gone through its transformation will haunt you.

Boy, will I be in trouble! Because of MY faith I should not encourage this viewing. These Actors are the way to be able to be in so many level of the Motion Pictures. Dam it, you ALL Have to see the movie.
