Stories from the set

The film is based on Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890).

The famous portrait of Dorian Gray at the age of the work by Ivan Albright (1897-1983), which took about a year to create, is now owned by the Art Institute of Chicago, where the portrait has been on display to visitors for many years. Albright's twin brother, named Malvin, a renowned sculptor, also received a commission to create a portrait of Dorian, only in his youth, but his portrait was never used.
