This movie is a MUST
SEE! Played with
maximum camp and technicolor glory, gay writer Richard
Day's (Girls Will Be Girls)Straight-Jacket is loads
of fun with plenty of delicious eye candy and a gay romance
to suck you in and keep you watching. Take a trip back
to the '60s when Rock Hudson and Doris Day ruled the silver
screen. Rock performed as a hetero playboy in front of
the cameras and had wild homo playboy parties when the
cameras were turned off. Well that's the story here!

Hunky screen idol Guy Stone, played with excellent timing
by Matt Letscher, is every woman's dreamboat and the secret
lover of every closet case in Hollywood. He's a man's man
with the slightest wiggle in his walk and the top choice
for the lead in Ben-Hur. But when a few photos pop up of
possibly gay Guy, the studio arranges an instant marriage
of convenience to starry-eyed secretary Sally. Guy's life
snowballs into a side-splitting struggle to keep his gay
side from his new bride and stay in the cast of Ben-Hur.
Meanwhile Guy is shooting a dreadful picture that needs
to have all leftist political influences deleted, so they
hire the leftist writer Rick to do the re-write -- go figure!
Rick is gorgeous, their eyes meet and all bets are off.
For the first time ever, Guy actually falls in love with
the guy. There's lots of kissing, high romance, drama (both
low and high) great jokes and tons of fun. Writer/director
Richard Day pokes gleeful fun at McCarthy-era Red-baiting,
the hypocrisy of the celluloid closet and those great sixties
comedies by making one of them!
