Dated gay humor from limp wrists to homophobic America - how ridiculous is that now?

ReplyDeleteThank you Glenn for posting(I never saw this movie) Loulou
It is quite fun - a bit dated on the "gay" and "closet" issues but never the less, fun! Wayland Flowers is great - he was so great. I miss him and Madame.
