Victim 1961 dir. Basil Dearden

Currently available free to stream in the UK on ITVX.

Groundbreaking British film tackling the subject of the criminalisation of homosexuality and the 'Blackmailer's charter' it created. Still a powerful watch after more than sixty years.

VICTIM (1961) dir. Basil Dearden In early 1960s London, barrister Melville Farr is on the path to success. With his practice winning cases and a loving marriage to his wife, Farr's career and personal life are nearly idyllic. However, when blackmailers link Farr to a young gay man, everything he has worked for is threatened. As it turns out, Farr is a closeted homosexual - which is problematic, due to Britain's anti-sodomy laws. But instead of giving in, Farr decides to fight. The first English-language film to use the word homosexual. (link in title)
