* AdaptationalVillainy: In the book Lord Henry is all talk, waxing and waning on the virtues of hedonism. Here he proposes Dorian do a cruel experiment to test Sybil's purity, Dorian should suggest she should "spend the night" with him. If she refuses she's worthy of his love. If not well ...

* AdaptationalVillainy: AdaptationalHeroism: Dorian, in a very minor way. In the book he never loved Sybil, he loved her art. Here he actually does love her... until she fails his sick test of virtue. Also his "one good deed" is completely different than in the book; there his idea of not seducing a farm girl is but a whim, here he breaks off his engagement with Gladys because he truly loves and knows how terrible they would be together.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: It ''is'' set in Victorian London. Despite Basil being a virtuous man, he sees nothing wrong with Gladys pursing Dorian, a man whom she has known a child when she becomes an adult, nor Dorian returning those feelings.

* LittleMissSnarker: Gladys as a child, who actually manages to out-wit Lord Henry, much to his chagrin:
--> "When this is known I shall be torn to shreds in every drawing room in London!"
* MoralityPet: Gladys to Dorian, which is actually subverted because all though he loves her, he doesn't actually change his evil ways.
* OffScreenVillainy: What does Dorian do, that make his picture so corrupt apart from driving Sybil to suicide ? We don't know mainly because the Hays Code forbidden any such behavior from being shown on screen in contrast to more modern adaptation. This makes in line with the novel, where we never see Dorian's evil deeds, merely whispers and rumors. This makes it more effective since the viewers' own imagination fill in the gap.
