The Gay Deceivers
(Bruce Kessler, USA, 1969, 35mm, 97 min)
In the year of the Stonewall riots and the dawn of the gay rights movement, it's ironic that the one US release to deal openly with homosexuality was this outrageous comedy about two straight men pretending to be gay to avoid the draft. Although criticized for its stereotypes, for viewers today it's a fun watch that's frequently hilarious -- with a lavishly decorated bungalow as the set for the bedlam and bed-hopping.
