Can a Movie Change the Law?
The 1961 film VICTIM isn't just a tense thriller. It was crafted to serve as a stealthy challenge to a British law that criminalized the very existence of homosexuals. It was a law that many had tried — and failed — to overturn. But at the dawn of the swinging sixties, a new challenge emerged. VICTIM brought together an unlikely team of writers, producers, and a matinee idol named Dirk Bogarde with a secret private life. Together, they’d use this movie to take on some of the most powerful figures in the British empire … and confront a moral panic that had gripped England since the reign of Henry the 8th.
