With its location shooting, noir lighting and doomed, trapped characters, the film was instrumental in paving the way for the legalisation of homosexuality in Britain. Dirk Bogarde, Britain’s revered matinee idol, risked his career to portray Melville Farr, a closeted gay lawyer at a time when homosexual acts were a crime. When his former lover Jack (Peter McEnery) is blackmailed, Farr — who is married — agrees to investigate. The case is complicated by his fear of exposure and a sudden mysterious death. |
