AP Movie Tetovleloa Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) - On,
b*nned u » them, (or Amer
can homosexuality late
l»M become « popular subje.
for movie makers.
Several film* concerning boon
sexuality, are In production, ar
they art not being made sole!-,
by exploitation-film companies
Many are topflight films, as evt
drnced by the current Wamei
Jirothert • Seven Arts release
Reflections in a Golden Eye.'
The John Huston fUm, derived
from an early novel of Orson
McCullers, depict. Marlon
Brando .. an A^y officer who
Is a latent homosexual. He is
married to Elizabeth Taylor but
is more Interested In a private
who enjoys cavorting nude
the forest.
Such a situation would have
been banned under the seli-cen-
•orshlp code of film czars Will
Hoys and Eric Johnston. The
to declared:
Pictures shan not infer that
} low forms of sex relationship
i see the accepted or
j thing. Sex perversion or any
J Inference of H Is forbidden "
I Also banned were such words as
'fairy," "nance" and “pansy
Suep specifics were swept
away with ths new production
code, promoted by Jack Valenti
m nc of the flnt acts In his
post U president of the Motion
Picture Association. The provt-
slon now states:
} "Illicit sex relationships shall
i not be Justified. Restraint arv*
l ere than be exercised in pres-
i entations dealing with aex aber-
t eitfaM ** | | "
It was under Sit mm aoOt
> J that such ■ film as "Reflections
rto a Golden Eye" could achieve
. {a aeal at acceptability-with the
| proviso "recommended for ms-
V lure audiences." Actually the
J homosexual theme hag been In-
* Jected into several films in re-
ent yean, though not In such
explicit terms.
In MSI. William Wyler re
1 made "The Children's Hour,"
, which he had filmed as "These
■Ihree" in lf3S with no reference
! to the Lesbian theme of the LB-
llan Heilman play. Ths second
version portrayed Shirley
MscLatine's affection for Audrey
Hepburn. The film was not
success.
European fUm makers have
been unrestrained by production
codes, and they have long dealt
with homosexuality la Such
films as "La Dolce Vtts." "A
» Tacit of Massy" and tav fea-
tures about Oscar Wilde The
underground movie m
have poured forth a flood Of
homosexual films.
Such Influences, plus the lib-
eralized morality of these times,
have prompted Hollywood film
makers to seek franker treat-
meid of homosexuality. “The
Fttx" promise* to be on* of the
most outspoken of the new
• films. The Warner Brothers-
Seven Arts release features San
dy Dennis as a girl in love with
Anne ifeywmd. On scene fea-
ture* a kiss between the pair.
In their search far new
themes to treat on the screen,
the film studios may be over-
. looking on* question: Will ho-
mosexual subjects sell to the
mass audience?
Whereas Tindf’rijnxjnfJ dims
About hameaewuaki have pros-
pered In New York, San Fran-
cisco. and Hollywood, their box-
office appeal has proved negligi-
ble in most other ettke.
'* * The producer! are fafed by
hard economic fact: Homosex-
ual flirts liter no chance to re-
cover coats by sale* to televi-
sion. at least not under present
standards of broadcasting. That
may imwe to be the biggest de-
torrent against any large out-
break of homosexual subjects
