Many of the films were ma when reference to homosexualy on screen was forbidn, yet shrewd directors and screenwrers were able to dodge the censors through suggtn and metaphor.

In a poignant moment at the end of the film, a homosexual relatnship is suggted between two unlikely characters, while a key role of an ancient man is played by one Elspeth Dudgeon, an early cematic example of a woman donng male drag.
