Narrated by Lily Tomlin, this must-see documentary looks at the history of gay and lesbian subjects in mainstream Hollywood film. With tremendous style and wit, film clips are coupled with interviews with Susan Sarandon, Tony Curtis, Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Fierstein, Shirley Maclaine, Tom Hanks et al. The highlight: Gore Vidal revealing the gay subtext of his “Ben-Hur” screenplay, of which macho Charlton Heston was blissfully unaware.
