An incomplete version of DORIAN GRAY was originally submitted to the BBFC for advice. The BBFC advised the company that, as it stood, the film was likely to achieve an '18' classification. However, the company was also informed that reductions in two scenes could result in the requested '15' classification. When the finished film was submitted, these changes had been made according to the BBFC's advice. Specifically, a scene in which a tea party is intercut with shots showing Dorian's sadomasochistic excesses was toned down to remove or reduce the more explicit moments (explicit sight of a fingernail being pulled off, explicit sight of a chest being cut with a razor in a sexual context, explicit sight of blood being sucked from a woman's breasts and sight of a restrained man being beaten). Additionally, a murder scene was toned down to remove the sense of dwelling on the infliction of pain and injury (reduction in the number of stabbings, removal of a blood spurt from man's neck, reduction in sight of victim choking on his blood).
