Vincent Price was an actor whose range exceeded the horror movie roles that made his name (and paid the bills). His performance as Oscar Wilde in the one-man play Diversions and Delights was especially memorable. Here, on BBC-TV in 1982, he reprises Wilde reciting “The Harlot’s House.” It’s a minor poem, but Price plays it like a master, with a charming, seemingly effortless recitation that knows where it’s going and doesn’t miss a beat.
