Very interesting, especially the part about WWII and the military!

Not the best executed documentary; the narration could have been improved upon. However I enjoyed the content of the film. I would recommend this to all of my friends as a, "must see", especially if they are not familiar with the history of the gay culture pre-Stonewall.

Fascinating history of 20th Century Gay America

Well only three stars because while the subject matter is decently covered- the history of gay culture before the Stonewall riot, the narration is awful. I recommend this film to anyone curious about gay culture (in the US- it is biased) before 1969. There are some amazing interviews with gays and lesbians in their 70's talking about the repression back in the 30's and 40's and being gay in WW2. But the BEST parts are seeing some of the HORRIBLE outfits the old gays were wearing in 1985. My god... They should have covered the gays in the arts, specifically painting- but completely left that out for some reason. All in all- informative- but not entertaining.

68/100. Amazing archive footage, I would think it must have taken a lot of research to find some of it. Great interviews, but I think too much of it focuses on the interviews. Interesting and very informative. It's well done, it held my interest but sometimes was a little repetitive and slow moving.
