Fortune and Men’s Eyes
1971
Based on the groundbreaking play of the same name, this film about power and passion in prison unfortunately translated to screen as more than a bit homophobic (unlike a notorious Hollywood stage run featuring graphic sex scenes between Sal Mineo and a young Don Johnson – do yourself a favor and Google that one). Yes, it’s a prison movie and there are horrible things that happen, including rape – but it’s still worth seeing for the fabulously over-the-top Queenie (Michael Greer) and for some seriously WTF moments.
