Klaus Kinski ist heute vielen Menschen in erster Linie als Filmstar ein Begriff. Doch er war längst berühmt bevor er seine erste Kinohauptrolle spielte. Vor einem begeisterten Millionenpublikum rezitierte er Weltliteratur und in nur vier Jahren, zwischen 1959 und 1962, nahm er insgesamt 32 Sprechplatten auf. Trotz seiner rekordverdächtigen Produktionsleitung war seine Textauswahl immer messerscharf.

Dieser einzige Roman Oscar Wildes ist ein Selbstporträt in zwei Figuren: Der dekadente, arrogante, in seine amoralischen Sentenzen verliebte zynische Snob Lord Henry und der von ihm verdorbene unschuldige Dorian Gray, der die Lehren Lord Henrys in die Tat umsetzt. Dorians Gewissen wird dabei durch ein Porträt ersetzt, das seine Sünden stellvertretend durch fortschreitenden Verfall auf sich nimmt, während er selbst sich in völlig unveränderter Jugendfrische ungehemmt seiner Lasterhaftigkeit hingeben kann.

Oscar Wilde - Dandy, Schriftsteller, Star der Londoner Society und gefeierter Bühnenautor des Fin de siècle - nimmt mit Dorian Gray auf geradezu tragische Weise Stationen seines eigenen Lebens vorweg. Der schöne junge Dorian bezaubert den Maler Basil Hallward und erliegt seinerseits dem Einfluss des geistreichen und zynischen Adeligen, Lord Henry. Als Basil ein Porträt von Dorian anfertigt, wünscht er sich selbstverliebt, dass nicht er, sondern das Porträt altern soll. Sein Wunsch wird erfüllt. Dorian führt ein zügelloses Leben, stürzt Menschen in Abgründe und lebt selber alterslos und unbeschadet weiter - zumindest eine Zeit lang.
