Featured review
A sort of 1978 "Will & Grace" without a Jack. Witty. Zany. Funny. Real. Clumsy. Heartfelt. I actually thought this would be one of the many maudlin, tragic stories of the late 70s, but I was pleasantly surprised to find myself viewing something completely believable, interesting and really kind of a normal situation. I wish I'd seen this as a late teen when it was released.
It was thought provoking in that it dealt openly and honestly with the issue of gender and sexuality fluidity in a situation where both parties were aware that the other was more inclined towards same sex attraction. Thus is a story that's still relevant.
