 Rating:  - the truth of the game is---mesmerizing!With no reservation, I can say that it is one of the most captivating movies I have ever seen. One could even expand the "gay" theme to touch the universal--when a person is "different"--and therefore suffers the pain of prejudice. Mr. Friedkin's direction is outstanding and the actors are--superb! Proudly recommended. Rating: - Genius WorkI first saw this phenomenal work on TV many years ago in an edited, sanitized version. When it came to VHS I bought it and watched it hundreds of times with many friends. I have to first say that the character of Michael is any actors dream to play. His emotions go from A to Z in a matter of two hours. And Kenneth Nelson, who portrays Michael, and also starred in the original cast of "The Fantastiks!" is nothing short of brilliant!

I discovered this play via the film when I was a teenager.

I was raised in Northern Canada - and I'm not even sure how I found out about this film, or it's content - perhaps by reading an ad in the New York Times. Obviously, at that age, not a lot of what the character's lives and loves were in this film was relevant to me; that happened later in life. I ended up sitting beside two older women after being ... Read More Rating: - Flawed, but still an inspirationAnyone who wants to see where the ideas for Love! Valour! Compassion! and Broken Hearts Club came from originally need look no further than this piece of gay history. All of the characters from those later works are present in this movie. As previous reviews have pointed out, the characters in the play and movie BITB are certainly tragic characters. However, we must remember this play opened two years before the Stonewall Riots. At that time, self hatred was a large part of the gay community. This movie ... Read More |
