I watched this for the first time on TCM. John Kerr seemed as if he had Aspergers, not that he was a gayling.

Stop it, you. It was a sensitive treatment. Like Bambi.

That's just what every gay boy needs. A big hunk of Deborah Kerr..

Impressive for the 1950s.

Ugh, If I remember, we were ALL categorically mentally ill in the 50s. It was just an acting choice indication.

The subject matter was toned down for 1950s movie audiences. The play was more frank and to-the-point. I think the movie suffers from having to dance around homosexuality.

R5, did the main character act like he was on the spectrum for the play?

I think this movie is hilarious. As if boning Deborah Kerr cures homosexualism.

Kerr never could quite connect with women onscreen.
Nor with men offscreen.
I mean......

From what I remember, John really wasn't gay, the plot twist was that it was implied Deborah Kerr's husband was. And that he wanted to bone John. Actually a pretty ahead of it's time movie, allthough it was santized for the screen, with its critique against traditional macho masculinity culture.

This is a Minnelli non-musical that is up there with Two Weeks In Another Town and Some Came Running. Love it!

I watched Minnelli's Cobweb the other night.
John Kerr's first picture as a troubled mental patient.

I so wanted to do this play in high school and have that role. Or The Diary of Anne Frank and play Peter, who seemed gay too.
