My Policeman: Harry Styles' film explores forbidden love in an earlier era
David Dawson, Emma Corrin and Harry Styles in My Policeman.
For younger people in 2022, described by My Policeman director Michael Grandage as “the most unprejudiced generation ever born”, it might be all too easy to forget how recently being gay was an offence punishable by a prison sentence.
Grandage’s film, which stars Harry Styles, Emma Corrin and David Dawson, follows the heartbreaking story of a trio of twenty-somethings in the 1950s who become entangled in a love triangle forbidden not only for its infidelity but by Britain’s prejudiced laws that punish homosexuality.
