BILLY WILR: MY GAY IN
apparently not, as you would have found that rmatn on Google if he was (openly gay). (maybe that is a bad profsn to be openly gay )..
A lot of , gay and straight, looked like that the 80's.
SURPRISGLY, MATTHEW WILR ISN'T GAY
Somethg that a REAL gay child of the 80's would NEVER have had! I was thkg that his mannerisms, not jt his cloth or hairdo, looked ultra-gay. It wasn't jt the cloth that let me know Liberace was gay (even though I thk he never me out to his dyg day).

But wh all the talk about his work, one key aspect of his films has gone almost totally ignored: Of the great Hollywood directors, the man who ma Sunset Boulevard and The Apartment was also the one whose films were most nsistently not jt gay-iendly but que actively gay-posive. As a gay film, wh Lemmon’s character g out the urse of the story, but he uldn’t get backg for and was forced to make “straight.
In Wilr’s early films the gay ntent is all que direct and, as wh most movi om the 40s and early 50s, a lot of readg between the l is lled for. Charl Jackson’s novel The Lost Weekend had a closeted queer protagonist; the censors managed to get that changed, but Wilr still gave his 1944 film a queer edge through a character lled Bim (Frank Faylen), a male nurse at the dnk tank who Ray Milland clearly fds threateng, ducg a d kd of gay panic. But was the mid-50's, wh the grip of the censors looseng, that Wilr’s e of gay ntent really bloomed.
Downbeat, oblique, noir treatments of gay relatnships were a thg of the past for him.
