The Whole Shebang Minute 68: Rewriting History

In Minute 68 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny talk about Curt’s decision to group Brian with the Loveliest Men in Europe, the history of the concept of natural law in an effort to demonize homosexuality, the parallels between Curt and Brian’s kiss in this minute and Mandy and Brian’s kiss, the blue backdrop evoking not only Brian’s/Maxwell’s signature color but also Derek Jarman’s Blue and West Side Story, and then the dedication to a letter to Dorian Gray, the comparative chasteness of the kiss and the reasons behind that choice, and the first gay kisses in film.
