Boys in the Band (1970) - birthday camp........................................................................ previous / next

It's Harold's birthday, and his closest friends throw him a party at Michael's apartment. Among Harold's presents is "Cowboy", since Harold may have trouble finding a cute young man on his own now that he's getting older. As the party progresses the self-deprecating humor of the group takes a nasty turn as the men become drunker. Climaxed by a cruel telephone "game" where each man must call someone and tell him (or her?) of his love for them.


In gay community, both the play and film are viewed as an embarrassment, a minstrel show of campy, queeny self-hatred staged show for straight audience's amusement. That is well said for lousy friends and soul stabbing lines with Oscar Wilde touch. It is like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford co-star in Who's afraid of Virgina Wolff. Gay men's over-hysteria and self loathing are indeed amusing and self-reflective even for gay audience because there is some truth to it. The film should have been critically acclaimed 40 years ago for breaking into a new genre of gay camp though......................... The Boys in the Band DVD
