Out at the Movies: A History of Gay Cinema
by Steven Paul Davies
An odd book in that there are about 20 films [out of the 150 mentioned] that - quite simply - don't belong.
As for including 'The Sound of Music' - that really is stretching it too far.
It really does read like the author's list of favourite films rather than a history of gay cinema [odd title, presumably the 'gay' here is an umbrella term for LGBT].
The obvious omissions are jaw-dropping...so, as a history, it's patchy, incomplete and wholly subjective.
