Groundbreaking early gay movie mainstreamed by director William Friedkin has this heterosexual looking forward to watching the remake for comparison. Has all the stereotypes, but I don't believe gay men are that miserable, nor do I think many straight men are really closet queers. I watched it on TCM, with host Ben Mankiewicz and a guest movie reviewer virtue signaling nonsense, like how they couldn't believe the brush back the movie suffered in the early 1970s. Are you kidding me? I can take that kind of review of American history from a 21-year-old college woman, but a couple of folks past 50? Good lord.
