Fascinating look at a not-so-hidden thing.
Rating: 5The GLBT world was said to have been hidden, but it was right there out in the open all along, even in cinema, and many people just didn't realize it or did not wish to acknowledge the reality of what was in front of them. From Edison's film of two men dancing in 1895 to Philadelphia, released in the 1990s, cinema has taken some twists and turns over the past century or so in this regard. Writers, activists, actors, and producers discuss various films and their experiences in seeing them or working on them. Done with compassion but without beating us over the head with a message, this documentary is a real eye-opener.

first rate review.
Rating: 5This affected me so much I thanked LT in person when I met her. Movie buffs, those coming out, fans of any interviewed would love it. LT is actually serious in this film which blew me away. Everyone's sincere.

A must see for all gay folk!.
Rating: 5This DVD is essential for anybody to have in there gay movie library. There is so much to learn from the previous depiction of gays in cinema. Ive watched this movie several times and never get tired of seeing the love scene in BEN HUR. If nothing else watch it and take notes as to what movies you need to see to further educate your knowledge of gay history.
