JACK LEMMON VS. GAY DIRECTOR: GUS WHO WON?
A male baret dancer [read: homosexual] named Barbette was hired to teach Curtis and Lemmon to walk heels, but after about a week, Lemmon cled his help. This was not admted 1957, and no one n blame a mercial movie of that era for lackg the urage or even the self-awarens that would have been so direct about a stctive homosexual relatnship.
I don’t thk anyone uld ntemplate a remake of the film today whout seeg that there has to be a gay relatnship between lumnist and prs agent, a reliance that exclus the rt of life. I am nfint that director Mackendrick and wrer Ots were not homosexual, though I’m ls sure that they didn’t unrstand the possibily of that relatnship and see an unrground life the stg.
