Movie Info

Homosexuality is only incidentally important in this drama of dependence and intimacy between two aging hair stylists, and nothing shocking to staid and heterosexual sensibilities takes place in this movie, a star turn for Richard Burton and Rex Harrison.

What is certain is that it grossly exaggerates every unpleasant "fag" stereotype in the books, However, the lead actors skillfully
