Review of Victim (1961) by Audrey L — 16 Nov 2010
Released in 1961, this movie actually dealt with the taboo topic of homosexuality and is credited with influencing the 1969 repeal of the laws against "sodomy". It certainly was ahead of it's time and was a career move that took Bogarde out of the mainstream leading man category.
There were many messages in the film which were somewhat sympathetic to the plight of homosexual men who were routinely blackmailed for their private activities. They were indeed victims,and were portrayed with dignity for the most part.
