A visibly artful and oneiric film...

"Anders als die Anderen" from 1919?

> Hi, Mr. Carvill - you've been missed.  I actually saw this movie.  There was something odd about the set-up:  An older Jewish man invites some young GIs back to his apartment for drinks, and one of them kills him because he's a Jew?  But when I looked up the book it was based on and discovered the character was a homosexual, it all made sense.  Too daring a topic for the movies back in those days.  Victim, with Dirk Bogarde, came out in 1961.  Don't know if that was the first film to explicitly deal with homosexuality.  Anyone?

>>NP, just a stumbled-upon reference. 'Crossfire' (1947) is described as a "visibly artful and oneiric film" here, the word rang a bell:
