Director - Basil Dearden
Star - Dirk Bogarde
It is a British movie released in 1960s. I had wanted to see it after Roger Ebert's GREAT MOVIES introduced it. I had delayed to watch it until few hours ago as it haven't had a subtitle.
It was provocative itself by showing the story in which a homosexual person appeared - especially in 1961, London. In this movie, people saw a picture which seems shocking. But it never appears to the end.
Dirk Bogarde decided to act the main character and some interpreted this as his coming-out.
By accepting what looked like career suicide to star in "Victim," wasn't he making much the same decision as his character Melville Farr -- to do the right thing, and accept the consequences? Didn't he, in effect, come out as an actor in that and many other roles (notably as the aging homosexual in "Death in Venice")?
