Rather than implicate the eminent barrister (Dirk Bogarde) with whom he is emotionally (though...
...Victim has a neat plot, deft direction by Basil Dearden, and the sort of grum good manners one expects of the British in these trying situations. It also has a careful performance by Bogarde, and it pursues with eloquence and conviction the case against an antiquated statute...
