Summary:
From the ground-breaking director of Rock Hudson's Home Movies and From the Journals of Jean Seberg, comes another witty and enlightening essay on the gay undercurrents of Hollywood's Golden Age. Dan Butler (Frasier) acts as tour guide as he uncovers a squeamish fascination with gay eroticism and camp. The film is a rich and funny meditation on American sexual identity, film history and culture. You will never look at Westerns the same way again.
