Description

This beloved film, adapted by Jonathan Harvey from his own stage play, is a  charming urban  coming-out tale about a gay teen, Jamie (Glen Berry), who falls for the boy next door, Ste (Scott Neal). Jamie is worried what his forthright mother (Linda Henry) will think; and also that he may make Ste's life even more complicated. This is a perennial  gay favourite, and deservedly so,  as it is  romantic without being too sentimental, and balances that with a realistic look at the forces of conformity and repression. It's buoyed along by a superb The Mamas and the Papas/Mama Cass soundtrack and a clutch of affecting and dynamic performances. The  beautiful final sequence alone is worth the price of this  feel-good  dvd.
