Title: underappreciated tearjerker!
Review: I wish they would reissue this video so I could have it for my library. Last time I watched it, I was moved to tears by the suicide of Ian McKellen's character. The aftermath of the Profumo affair illustrates how foolish and sad prostitution laws really are. It was these laws, in large part, which Steven Ward was so humiliated by -- and the movie gives a human face to that fact. The girls in question were labelled call girls but they were more like party girls -- and yet, when the powers that be conspired to find their scapegoat, they were able to portray these amateurs as prostitutes, for the purposes of humiliating Steven Ward publicly. This isn't adequately explained by the movie but then, it's entertainment, not a documentary.
