CGiii Comment
People may say pleasant things about this...because, it is from an older (and supposedly wiser) generation but, in reality, it is a badly acted and written piece.
The Boys in the Band was its worthy and better predecessor, here we get the nudity (and an orgy, rather groundbreaking) and nothing else of merit.
Larkin never wrote nor directed anything again - no loss there...but, he will be remembered as one of the first directors to introduce gratuitous sex, moronic dialogue and the employment useless actors - many have been misguidedly inspired by him.
Old junk that has, ceaselessly, inspired new junk.

The(ir) Blurb...
When David, an ex-monk still in his twenties meets Mark, he falls hard; soon he's asked Mark if they can live together. Things go well for awhile, and then differences in their definition of "commitment" begin to push them apart. Mark wants other sexual adventures, David tries to go along. Can they talk through the crisis in their relationship or is a breakup in the offing? David sees his relationship with Mark as a marriage, so if it ends, can David's heart ever heal?
