THE BOYS IN THE BAND (1970) dir. William Friedkin At his New York loft apartment, Michael is hosting a thirty-second birthday party for his friend. According to him, the party consists of 'seven screaming queens': birthday boy Harold, debt ridden preppy Michael, neurotic Donald, flamboyant Emory, amiable Bernard, and couple Hank and Larry who are going through growing pains in their relationship. Unexpectedly thrown into the mix is Alan, Michael's married, straight and straight-laced old university roommate. The ninth and last person at the party is a fresh-faced, young and naive urban cowboy, who is Emory's birthday gift to Harold. Directed mostly by Michael, each exposes a little of himself throughout the evening. (link in title)
