Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released in 1984, this captures gay male life in New York mere months before the AIDS crisis would rewrite everything. The casual cruising and magazine culture it depicts would soon become haunted.
Director Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. made this between his documentary Gay USA and his narrative feature Buddies—the first AIDS drama ever made. Michael Christopher was a prolific gay porn star of the era; this was his rare 'legitimate' film role.
