Will G @Kingofthepixies 4d John Hurt was one of our great actors. Sorely missed. Remarkable performance in a classic TV movie. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 2 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Alec B 02/27/2024 Hurt is incredible here, a performance that captures the big persona of Crisp along with a deep, quiet melancholy. See more isla s 09/02/2022 This is a perhaps somewhat comical film but of course its also very serious, in terms of the treatment of obviously gay people in the time period covered (the 1950s-1970s I assume). Some of the dialogue I found amusing, some I found quite moving and seeing things from the main characters point of view certainly did help me to imagine what it must have been like for those affected by the clearly prejudiced laws of the land at the time. This film does well at humanising such a person, giving an insight into their thoughts at times, how they deal with the situations they find themselves in, including being assaulted by people on the street. It can't be denied that it takes a certain amount of strong will and defiance to not hide away your sexuality during a time of such homophobia. I thought this film is a good piece of social history, although it (inevitably and somewhat importantly) contains some language which would nowadays be regarded as offensive but generally its worth a watch.
