CGiii Comment
It dull and dark with terrible dance sequences. And, it is thoroughly monotonous.
Interesting only for those who want to re-live the drudgery of the late 70s - and, this is real drudge.
Some will say that this was groundbreaking stuff - yes, in its day, there was little else to compare it with - and, it wasn't particularly difficult to be groundbreaking then - especially in the gay department.
But, by today's standards, (arguably the standard that everything should be judged), this is a terribly constructed, badly shot, limply directed and under-written film.
No matter when it was made - back then it may have sold - now, not.
One star...for nostalgia.
