A Very British Sex Scandal

24 membres

A Very British Sex Scandal tells the story of Peter Wildeblood, a royal correspondent for the Daily Mail newspaper. He is a closet homosexual and like many gay men at that time, lives in secret as homosexuality is against the law. One evening he meets Eddie McNally, who is on leave from the air force and the pair embark on an affair together. However, it is their weekend at the estate of Lord Edward Montagu which eventually leads to a scandal which rocked modern Britain and led to a reconsideration of, and the eventual decriminilisation of homosexuality.

Docu-fiction hyper documenté sur la chasse aux sorcières londonienne de 1952-1954, qui a le mérite de mettre en lumière Peter Wildeblood, qui a fait avancer la dépénalisation de l’homosexualité à pas de géants dans les 50’. La reconstitution fictionnelle est particulièrement soignée (Sam Heughan avant Outlander !) et c’est très touchant de voir les protagonistes devenus de gentils pépés témoigner. Écho british à tous ceux qui ont aimé Fellow travelers.
