Which is the odd one out?

Dirk Bogarde in”Victim” (1961) about a gay married lawyer subject to the blackmailer’s charter which was the law that convicted Wilde. This film along with the two Wilde films (1960) and the Wolfenden Report (1957) helped foster a cultural reappraisal of masculinity in the 1960s leading to the repeal of the law.

In his Impressions of America, Oscar Wilde said that, "Salt Lake City contains only two buildings of note, the chief being the Tabernacle, which is in the shape of a soup-kettle." He had originally said this in newspaper interviewers in America: for instance in the Denver Tribune where he added that the tabernacle was the most purely dreadful building he ever saw.
