Victim

Dirk Bogarde stars as a Q.C. with a past he has tried to bury.

Now married, he has tried to forget a homosexual affair, but cannot escape it when he receives a phone call from his former lover who has been arrested for theft. When the police find that he has no money they assume he is being blackmailed. Opening himself up to legal proceedings, Bogarde decides to prosecute the blackmailers himself.

Victim is the first mainstream film to sympathetically portray homosexual society when it was still a crime in Britain. The film also stars Sylvia Syms, Norman Bird, Donald Churchill and John Barrie. Intro and post-film discussion with The Cinematologists.
