It always makes me sad, reminding me of how many gay people still commit suicide. Great writing, though, and well filmed by William Wyler.<br />- Chris angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-46474626972703934562019-05-06T00:55:07.255-05:002019-05-06T00:55:07.255-05:00Very progressive of them to tackle material like t...Very progressive of them to tackle material like this during that era.

I abhor censorship in any form. But religious censorship (which I think was behind the original) is the most abhorrent.

She thought it was about "a lie." That's why Hellman was okay with eliminating the homosexual angle for the 1936 version. Anyhow, I thought both version were good. I would love to see a third version (the 1961 version is franker, but the original play is even franker).
