The movie; Victim created in 1961
In the early sixties, when director Basil Dearden made Victim, public exposure meant not only disgrace but possibly jail. Victim was then perhaps the most daring film to appear on the British screen. it was the first film in which the word "homosexual" was spoken. Victim was a surprise hit at the box office, and many regard it as the work that finally stirred Parliament to begin amending Britain's cruel and archaic laws against "homosexual acts.” (Film/DVD: Review) The impact of the Victim movie on homosexual culture and societal culture are, helped to change the law on homosexuality in the UK, (Kelly) it represent gay community’s oppressed situation in 1961, and it changes film industry.
Before 1967, most homosexuals were criminalized and discriminated by society. In old-school Britain, homosexuality was considered a crime and people who had such a sexuality experienced stigma. According to Emma Lake, an author for ‘The Sun’ website, homosexuality in the United Kingdom was considered indecent and the punishment was spending two years in prison. (Lake) The sentence would either include hard labor or not, the article said. The culture before 1967 and especially in 1885 recognized marriage between people of different gender only. One victim of Labouchere Amendment punishment is Alan Turing a scholar who is recognized for solving the enigma code. To avoid being thrown to jail and/or undergoing castration, Turing committed suicide. Victim movie released in 1961 tried to display the suffering of a gay community. The movie is said to have contributed to the Amendment of 1885 Labouchere amendment in 1967 to legalize homosexuality in Britain. (Lake) The new act is still celebrated by gay individuals, but it received criticism from several parties. The movie Victim was classified as a suspense film and was released in 1961 in Britain. The director was Basil Dearden, and his movie upon release was faced with criticism and legal problems..
