Synopsis |
Perhaps the most controversial film
of its time due to its portrayal of
homosexuality, the story follows a
cop as he enters Manhattan's gay
scene in search of a psychotic
killer who has been murdering gay
men.
The filming was picketed due to it's
negative stereotyping of gay men.
Interesting Trivia: One day the
demonstrators picketed another film
lensing in Manhattan at the same
time, Can't Stop The Music, thinking
it was Cruising. Nancy Walker (the
director) had to go explain to the
mob that they were on the wrong set
saying, "We're the good guys!"
