Bracing in its frank depiction of gay sex life, both promiscuous and committed.

A straightforward, very funny love story which glows with fulfilment and promise.

Greatly shortened from Mr. Fierstein's long-running, Tony Award-winning play, the film version emphasizes the lovable at every turn, but the surprise is that it does this entertainingly and well.

You will love this movie. It will put you through the wringer and squeeze you dry, but you will leave the theater so much the better for having allowed to share in Arnold's life for a little while.
