Well, ok...but...pressure. Pressure is how we got gay marriage in the UK.

After the film '#Victim', with #DirkBogarde , 1961, #film was one of the many elements that eventually got being #Lgbt legalised in 1967. This film as well as activism, etc put pressure on the government.

So, enough pressure can force courts and governments to do anything.

"Happy" Anniversary to THE NIGHT PORTER aka "Il portiere di notte" porter, which premiered in France on this day 50 years ago in 1974.

This is probably the weirdest and unsettling movie I have ever seen. Its an italian sexploitation flic with a twist:

#TheDamned (1969) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064118/

Modesty Blaise (1966) is a movie misfire that is still interesting enough to be worth seeing. Nowhere near as good as the novels or comics. All the movie's problems could have been avoided by sacking Joseph Losey as director.

My review: https://princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2023/08/modesty-blaise-1966-revisited.html

Just got done watching three films starring Dirk Bogarde: Victim, The Night Porter, and The Servant. In awe of his acting skill. I totally believed all three portrayals and I swear there’s no overlap in the body language or the facial expressions, it’s like the man had the power to rewrite his own DNA for a role. #cinema #DirkBogarde #acting
