[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 1852063, member: 4910"]The 1945 film "The Picture of Dorian Gray" features a collection tray of coins and medals. The film was based on the famous 1890 novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Dorian Gray is a young man living in Victorian London in 1886. Basil Hallward is a painter who paints a full-length picture of Dorian. Basil gives Dorian the painting, and Dorian wishes that his portrait could age instead of him and his wish is granted. He decides to lead a life of debauchery and as time goes by, the the picture ages and it displays his "sins". Dorian's activities include coin collecting. [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_movie_picturedoriangray_01.jpg[/IMG] [B]Dorian examines coins while Basil lectures him on his wicked life[/B] Basil visits Dorian to lecture him on his wicked life. Dorian ignores Basil's talk and examines coins. A tray of large coins or medals is on the table, along with an illustrated coin catalog. Basil tells Dorian "What I have to say to you is serious, Dorian. I think you should know the things that are being said against you in London. When I hear all these hideous things that people whisper about you, I don't know what to say." Dorian then shows Basil the painting, Basil is horrified, and Dorian kills him and has the body removed. [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_movie_picturedoriangray_02.jpg[/IMG] [B]Detective with a viewing device[/B] After Basil dissapears, Basil's niece Gladys and Dorian visit a detective to locate her uncle Basil. The detective has some sort of late 1800's viewing device which looks strangely familiar. :)[/QUOTE]
