The Killing of Sister George (1968, Robert Aldrich) and The Boys in the Band (1970, William Friedkin) are now available, in their entirety, on YouTube! Vito Russo discusses these films in the excerpt from The Celluloid Closet that you're reading this week. Don't miss the opportunity to see these films. Love them or hate them, they are essential LGBTQ cinema.
The Boys in the Band, one of the first (if not the first) LGBTQ films to be protested by activists, was directed by William Friedkin, who also directed Cruising (1980). Click on the links to watch the films. I'd be showing them in our course, if only there was more time!
