A decent man?
Contrary to what has been written on imdb, I didn't get the impression that Vic was a particularly nice guy. Perhaps deep down he meant well but his actions toward Ingrid were pretty low in parts - violent temper, dishonesty, alcoholic rages, rudeness etc. etc. Interested to hear how his behaviour can be justified/ explained.
