An extraordinary performance by Dirk Bogarde grounds this intense, sobering indictment of early-sixties social intolerance and sexual puritanism. Bogarde plays Melville Farr, a married barrister who is one of a large group of closeted London men who become targets of a blackmailer. Basil Dearden’s unmistakably political taboo buster was one of the first films to address homophobia head-on, a cry of protest against British laws forbidding homosexuality. |
"It’s a pleasure for me to be able to participate in this event. The fact you can hold this event is a good sign and I hope a sign that Gay history and culture is finding a place in Russia."
