 Great film--should be revived on DVD for a new audience! November 4, 2007
This is really a fabulous movie--a great companion to the excellent production of the "Beebo Brinker Chronicles" just closed in NY--a dramatization of this important period of lesbian life--the 1950's, a time of odd "freedom" and horrendous repression.
The film is humorous, wise, and informative--very well made. A classic.
Thrils For Documenatry Lovers and Acedemics! November 16, 2004

This documentary uses interveiws, period footage, and a fictive pulp fiction style romance to explore butch and femme roles in the 1950-1960's. The fictive love story ends with some soft-core porn (PG if it was hetero-sexual)and has a radically happy ending. The movie attempts to use a variety of women - a Haida woman, a Costa Riccan woman, a cowpoke, a femme who left her husband... but there is a majority of urban, white, androgynous women. The bias doesn't ruin the point, the point being REAL women's experiences with roles and the larger urban environment, however edited for effect.

If you are gay or lesbian, young or old, this is a must see movie. If You are older than 45 than you may remember some of the stylin going on. If you are younger than you should be able to appreciate a stroll down memory lane of lesbian and gay culture. A MUST SEE. I enjoyed it very much.

A must see movie for all gay people and others....This is an 'excellent' documentary about how it was to be lesbian in the 50's and 60's. These women are facinating and they sure got my attention all the way. It really makes you realise how easy we have it these days... All the ladies in the movie are great and all have quite different and interesting stories to tell. The minie movie is a good addition, but the magic would still be there without it. In my opinion, this is on top of my list of Gay movies, however, it would be great if they would get it out on DVD! Cheers

This is a wonderful, insightful, creative documentary that is without equal. It's a must see for all young lesbians! And anyone interested in 'The love that dare not speak it's name'.Comprised of a series of interviews with lesbians who came out in the 50's and 60's, linked together by a 'dime store novel' style drama that ends the right way. The women interviewed speak with candour, humour and sometimes sadness about their lives in a world that could barely tolerate the independent woman let alone lesbians. Buy it you won't regret it.
