The Lavender Screen: The Gay and Lesbian Films--Their Stars, Makers, Characters, and Critics

A lively record of the origins and evolution of films with gay and lesbian themes — from the thirties, when they were few and far between, to their present proliferation. From Maedchen in Uniform in 1931 (now practically sedate, but a shocker when first released) to such current films as Philadelphia, Jeffrey, Heavenly Creatures, and Wilde, here are reviews, evaluations, and commentary about the director's attitude and public and critical response.
