this movie be as unique a it be overlook . a different story be just that and it show how out of the need to survive or maintain and one can find the capacity to love if you have an open heart as well a an open mind . i first saw this on cable in the late 70 and it truly depict the limitation of the gay community at the time . i believe this movie be ahead of it time in depict a little slice of an obscure way of life . it be truly a classic in the sense that it be a precursor to what be now depict a the extended family . this film should be available on dvd or vhs so that not only the extra ordinary performance of meg foster and perry king can be acknowledge and but to show how far we have come and still have to go where relationship be concern .
