The Silver Screen: Color Me Lavender (1998)

An exploration of the way Hollywood dealt with or ignored issues of homosexuality during its so-called Golden Age - when the studio system reigned supreme. It is a comedic and occasionally rude re-examination of the subterfuges by which Hollywood has alluded to and at the same time avoided an issue that in many instances it could not even name, much less identify. A survey of gender issues and how they were perceived, as well as perpetuated, by the Hollywood dream factory from the 30s up to the 60s.
