Come down to the boathouse, dear Sir

It is LGBT+ History Month here in the UK!

I'm on the hunt for interesting events to attend this month - but in the meantime, here's the irrepressible Steve Hayes aka "Tired Old Queen at the Movies", with an all-time gay classic (and favourite of mine):

One of the sexiest films ever made...

More Maurice

  1. Lets hope 'Gay History Month' has something interesting that we can get to this year.

    1. I'm researching as we speak, sweetie. Meanwhile, amuse yourself with Hugh Grant, James Wilby and Rupert Graves... Jx

  2. 'Maurice' était un film introspectif sur le véritable amour et les différences de classe avec les beaux garçons James Wilby, Hugh Grant et Rupert Graves.
    Un autre film préféré était 'Room with a View' avec le beau Julian Sands.
    Les deux films romantiques traitaient du milieu homosexuel des édouardiens et de leur époque.
    Les histoires de E.W. Forrest porté au cinéma et animé par James Ivory.

    1. The gay subtext in "A Room With a View" is very much open to interpretation - it's certainly a homoerotic film - but "Maurice" was the first story in which EM Forster felt able to openly deal with men loving men. Yet it was published only posthumously, in 1971. Jx
