Synopsis Narrated byiLily Tomlin What That's Entertainment did for movie musicals, The Celluloid Closet does for Hollywood homosexuality, as this exuberant, eye-opening movie serves up a dazzling hundred-year history of the role of gay men and lesbians on the silver screen. Lily Tomlin narrates as Oscar®-winning moviemaker Rob Epstein (The Times of Harvey Milk and Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt) and Jeffrey Friedman assemble fabulous footage from 120 films showing the changing face of cinema sexuality, from cruel stereotypes to covert love to the activist triumphs of the 1990s. Tom Hanks, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, Harvey Fierstein and Gore Vidal are just a few of the many actors, writers and commentators who provide funny and insightful anecdotes.

Customer Review MUST HAVE GAY DOCUMENTARY - 3.25 out of 5  (3/10/2004) This is one of my favorites in my gay DVD collection. The film opens with a scene from a 19th century experimental film featuring two men dancing with each other. From here on it covers in depth the depiction of gays and gay portrayals, politics and censorship in Hollywood right up until present times. This is a must have for anyone interested in the history of the cinema, especialy if you are gay.   more >> Customer Review A gay must-have - 3.75 out of 5  (12/1/2002) This is a brilliant documentary! And a must-have if you're gay.   more >>
