Review of Victim (1961) by Crystal M — 21 Jul 2007
An almost surreal experience to watch given the unheard-of subject matter in the context of its time. Dearden thankfully avoids the temptation to turn this into a depressing pityfest (although goodness knows the reality for homosexuals in the mid-twentieth century is so depressing, the word "victim" doesn't come close) and thankfully weaves his damning indictment of what is possibly the most pointless law in history around a brisk, suspenseful thriller.
