CGiii Comment
Jordan of Sordid Lives and Leslie in Will & Grace recounts the story of his life.
Just like the dreary The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me - this should have remained in the theatre.
The direction really does let this production down - in a very big way. Pierrepont has directed nothing since.
The performances are not up to scratch either - apart from Jordan - but, it is a case of a little too much too soon.
Jordan is likeable...but, really, his life is not that interesting to merit 100 minutes of screen time...the life of a rather adorable bit-part player.

The(ir) Blurb...
A repressed 40-year old man from a small conservative southern town finally leaves his home and travels to Atlanta to be openly gay only to find that his low self-esteem constantly causes him to gravitate towards drug users and street hustlers.
