BUDDIES (1985) The First Film About AIDS

I'd somehow never heard about this film. It actually preceded An Early Frost and Longtime Companion.

Stupid euphemistic title.

Seems like a Harold Hecuba production.

The writer-director died in 1987. He was 44.

What it lacks in technical values and acting skill is compensated by heart and courage.

What about the 1986 Showtime movie As Is?

Wow, R7. I'm going to look for this.

I always think of "Cruising" (1980) as a metaphor for AIDS: mysterious killer out there stalking gay men.
