jaragon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I just saw John Schlesinger's extraordinary film from a an original script by Penelope Gilliat. A real adult dram about a love triangle between a gay doctor (Peter Finch), a straight woman (Glenda Jackson) and their bisexual lover (Murray Head). I can see how that kiss between Finch and Murray is really a ground breaking moment in gay film history. It made gay love a very natural thing. Out on blu ray from the Criterion collection 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Banacki Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I don't think that Murray Head would've ended up with either of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Probably he would have hooked up with some one in the art world in New York or San Francisco . It would have been nice if Doctor Finch would have met some one nice on that trip to Italy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
