A landmark film for its bold, complex and sophisticated treatment of homosexuality, this exceptional thriller was quite controversial in its day and was instrumental in changing British law that made being homosexual a criminal act. A thoughtful and compelling piece which Bogarde, whose matinee idol reputation was shaken by the portrayal, maintains that accepting the role was the wisest decision he made in his cinematic life. This film was unprecedented and intellectually bold presented honestly and unsensationally.
