A fabulous documentary that makes you truly re-think the way that homosexuality was depicted in the classic cinema and how it may have been alluded to...and past the top movie brass.

A great documentary! Incredibly interesting look at homosexuality in film from silent pictures up to 1995, when this was made. I'd like to see this documentary updated to include the past 10 years, it would be interesting to see if perceptions have changed. It's really funny to realize how prudish Hollywood is compared to the rest of the world.

Incredible documentary on film history and LGBT characters as portrayed throughout nearly 100 years in film. The treatment of the subject pre-Brokeback Mountain demonstrates how many changes have been made since the mid-1990s (and how many more changes still need to happen). I heartily recommend this adaptation of Russo's writing to anyone wanting to know more about the history of LGBT portrayals in film.

No less than a primer in the power of movies to redefine human nature and behavior.
