a very natural thing and accord to source i have read and be one of the first film to show gay men candidly a people . the two principle character could be anyone . they do not fall easily into stereotype which plague gay theme film and even today in the late 1990s . this film definitely have the look and the feel of it time and the mid 70 . it fascinate to see how people dress and the way they talk and what car they drive and even how they cut their hair . it also interest to look at gay lifestyle in this period set . this be before aid or hiv and and unprotected sex be the norm . it take place just at the beginning of the 70 age of sexual liberation and not only for gay and but people in general a well . ( for another view of the period see boogie night or the tale of the city series . ) but the most important part of the film be the relationship between the two and psychologically different character who meet in a dance club and fall in love and and live together . it could be two people today . it show what two average gay men might experience live together . i cross reference some of the people who make this film . few go on to do anything else in movie . i think only one make it into the 80 in a mainstream film . the film have low budget production value from the period . i do not find that so much distracting a endear . it make the film all that much more real .
