The book was subsequently pulled and pulped in the US, and corrected in the UK by Wolf’s publisher, Virago. However, the term reflects a crime punishable by death that was commuted to a custodial sentence, a common occurrence. Wolf had believed it signified an execution, and claimed that she had found “several dozen executions” of gay men after the last recorded execution for sodomy in 1835. Sweet pointed out that she had misunderstood the term “death recorded” in historical records. The book first ran into trouble when it was published as a hardback in 2019, when Wolf, the author of The Beauty Myth, was confronted during a BBC radio broadcast by the historian Dr Matthew Sweet. Well we work with what we have.Outrages recounts the life of writer John Addington Symonds and how gay men in the 19th century would have feared lengthy prison sentences and hard labour for “unnatural offences”. ![]() As I said right at the beginning, this is unfair on all of the films - some deserved a one and others an eight. The other acceptable films raised this to a six. If it weren't for the two jewels, this would have got a two. And an affirmation that it's not always the older guy who makes the running. My Dad Works the Night Shift? A pretty erotic set of circumstances leading to a denouement that I should have seen coming - the religious are often twisted. I liked A Normal Guy particularly for its reading of the situation for gay guys in Romania - casual homophobia but more or less an acceptance of other lifestyles. ![]() In between? My Dad Works the Night Shift, A Normal Guy, Pretty Boy. As his true ending is not known to history, this was necessarily an imagining of his final days. I hope the guys saved by Hansi Sturm, who was a real person, emulated his bravery. The sorts of choices that had to be made in Nazi Germany would have tested anyone anywhere. I was born after the war but it was a presence in my life through my parents. I had an inkling of the selfless act that would happen before it was made clear. Théo shone with his desperation and Giuseppe with his beauty - no, that's wrong, it's his horniness - and disillusion. ![]() I loved even the clever title of the latter - I'm a translator but I can't get the sense properly over in three words but maybe in four, "Jettisoned on the Jetty". The absolute rubies amongst the dross? We Are Dancers and L'Homme Jetée. Really, if you have nothing useful to say or no story to tell, just be quiet and choose another career. The bilge? Memoirs of a Geeza, Dungarees, Clothes and Blow, My Sweet Prince. I'm afraid that some very good films are going to be dragged down by the utter bilge that most of the films consisted of. The films presented here were very variable in quality, storylines and acting ability. ![]()
