Wishing everyone continued safety!

Glenn Kenny and Farran Nehme

RIP Larry Kramer, a fearless fighter for the LGBTQ community and a playwright of stature.
The Oscar (Russell Rouse, early 1966). A legendary heap of dung. What’s curious is the complete absence of profanity in this world of showbiz sharks. Had the film been made a year or two later the F-bombs would be flying like ICBMs.
Edie Adams, a Tony winner for Li’l Abner, gives a good funny performance.
