Basil Dearden's excellent thriller Victim was released in 1961, during roughly the same time as the ascension of Britain's "angry young men" - playwrights like John Osborne (Look Back in Anger) who rejected clichés of fussy, stuffy Britannia in favor of a more edgy, neorealist-inflected, working-class image. And Victim, with its location shooting, noirish lighting, and doomed characters has more than a little of the "angry young men" feel.
