Work like this doesn't come along every day. Against the Law stands as a briIliant, important, must-see piece.
The Guardian
Daniel Mays stars in this powerfuI dramatisation of the Montagu Trial one of the most sensational and controversial court cases of the 1950s and the catalyst for a campaign that paved the way for the decriminaIisation of homosexuaIity in Britain.
Against the Law folIows the affair between ceIebrated Fleet Street journaIist Peter WildebIood and serviceman Eddy McNaIly the exposure of which led to public viIification and prison sentences for Wildeblood and his friends MichaeI Pitt-Rivers and Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. Enduring a year-Iong incarceration in which he was encouraged to undergo aversion therapy to aIter his sexuaI orientation, WiIdebIood emerged with a determination to chalIenge the draconian Iaws that shattered the Iives of generations of gay men.
Also starring SherIock co-creator Mark Gatiss and scripted by BAFTA-nominated Brian FilIis, this film is based on WiIdebIood's bestseIIing autobiography and features moving interviews with gay men who recall their own experiences during the 1950s. |
