Victim

Great movie about the problems that homosexuals had to face in the England of early 1960s, when it was illegal and punishable to be so.

Victim is absolutely beautifully crafted, which makes the impact all the more raw. Dirk Bogarde in the lead was the most perfect casting I could imagine, and he plays it on top form - consistently visceral and occasionally genuinely startling in ferocity. This performance, though, is hardly aswim in mediocrity, either - there's no clunking elements whatever. That's pretty remarkable, frankly.read more
Bogarde took a large career risk with his portrayal of a blackmailed homosexual barrister who has to decide whether or not to reveal his secret. Deciding to admit to his situation, he puts his reputation and marriage in jeopardy. An interesting piece of social history, not least because it was made when homosexual acts were a crime.

"30.4. Tekoaikaansa nähden erittäin rohkea elokuva ottaa kantaa homoseksuaalisuuden laittomuuden tuomiin ongelmiin. Joku kiristää seksuaalisuuttaan piilottelevilta suuria summia rahaa, ja maksamaan kykenemättömät joutuvat vankilan pelossa inhottavaan tilanteeseen. Osa poliiseista ei haluaisi noudattaa heidän mielestään vastenmielistä ja vanhentunutta lakia, mutta ammattinsa vuoksi heidän on pakko. Erinomaisen elokuvan jälkeen voi olla onnellinen, että ainakin täällä päin on ede"
