there have be several book that have cite this a the early gay cinema . i do not really see this a all that gay in the homosexual sense but then see two men dance in what have to be the world first movie musical do have it attraction . there have be several earlier comment about this film dismiss any homosexual overtone . a to those that be quick to dismiss this film as just be silly and an experiment do late at night after too many drink . well i have hear that story before . this film be of interest a an oddity and if folk want to consider it the first gay film so be it . well this than the depressing 1919 anders al die andern .
