Conceived as an indictment of England’s criminalization of homosexuality, Victim (1961) tells the story of a vulnerable group of blackmailed homosexuals and the closeted barrister who puts himself on the line in the name of undoing the unjust law. Or if you’re feeling spicy: When the death of a sexy construction worker threatens to uncover Mel’s dirty little secret, he’s forced to take matters into his own hands to uncover the evil blackmailers who are terrorizing a marginalized community. Either way, this compelling drama is a gem. Handsome brutes, nightsticks, and a thorough pipe cleaning this week on Ex Rated Movies!
