Pre-Maude Rue McClanahan as a rich barfly surrounded by adoring men. Pre-Andy-from-WKRP Gary Sandy as a self-loathing male hustler. Pre-Buck Rogers Gil Gerard as a gay airline pilot in love. Warhol-era Candy Darling as a beautiful, forlorn trans woman. All part of this 1971 ensemble film following the regulars at a Greenwich Village gay bar for a few hours on Christmas Eve. It's a real time capsule so lots of slurs and stereotypes, and anti-trans brutality towards the end. On Fubo and MGM+ and free in a low-quality Youtube rip. [more inside]
