Synopsis |
|
Hal Holbrook as a divorced gay
man who attempts to explain about
his lover (Martin Sheen) and
lifestyle to his teen-age son. A
daring movie-of-the-week subject in
its time, this movie became a
much-discussed medium landmark for
handling the subject with
sensitivity and frankness, and has
remained a significant cultural
event in the public illumination of
alternative lifestyles. Johnson and scripters William Link and William
Levinson received Emmy nominations.
The telefilm also won an Emmy for
Scott Jacoby's performance as the
son and reaped other nominations for
outstanding dramatic program and for
the performances of Holbrook and
Hope Lange. |
