Quite the daring thing for television in its day (it might have trouble getting off the ground at all in today's morally frigid climate!), it was nevertheless a disappointing sequel to "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenaged Runaway." The character of Alexander brought tears to the eye in "Dawn;" in his own film he just seems to be going through the motions, doing what was "expected" of a daring, groundbreaking '70s Gay television character.
Review of Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn
Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn
(1977 TV Movie)
Memorable & groundbreaking, but not as good as "Dawn."
