I love and admire Harry Hamlin for starring in this movie.
It took real courage for a male actor in 1980/1981 to take on a gay role like this.
Kudos to both him and Michael Ontkean.

Michael Ontkean -- I mean, swoon material back in the early 1980s, and he even looked good in Twin Peaks. How could Harry NOT have been attracted to him? But, yeah, it was a groundbreaking movie with conventionality on the fringes.

I like him. Notice what he said. He was not in some fake bearding relationship. At any given time half of all leading men are gay. This is reality. He basically said just that. So them playing gay would be too dangerous as it really would shine a light on their fake relationships.

Has Harry ever been engaged in the homosex?

I remember seeing Making Love when it came out. I thought "these guys will never work in Hollywood again". I wasn't too far off.

Dear Lisa: Your fish lips would turn any straight man gay. Tsk, tsk on you for hiring a bargain basement plastic surgeon.

The public has a weird relationship with actors. Hollywood loves to give off the vibe that actors actually are the characters they play on screen. In actuality, they are workers like everyone else. the whole point of acting is to be what you are not.
So when the public sees actors in a gay movie, people just assume they are gay. This has gotten even more wild as the gay community demands that gay actors get the gay roles, which conversely often shuts them out of straight roles.

Took a leak next to him at the old Rose Tattoo. His hamlins were hairy.

Interesting how some gay role garner Academy Awards while others get the actors' careers killed.
A gay dying of AIDS is tragic and loved by Hollywood. A gay having gay sex is shunned.

And it seems like both Harry and Michael were okay with it.

Michael Ontkean was adorable. I love his big, brown cow eyes. He was just my type. I liked him in Twin Peaks as the kind sheriff, even if he wasn’t the strongest actor. Shame he wasn’t in more movies/shows.
I appreciated his striptease in Slap Shot, too!

Three things I remember about the film.
"Alabaster and lapis lazuli."
Gilber and Sullivan.
And that giant jar of Vaseline sitting on the bed table when she goes to visit the guy on the matchbook.

Harry always gave me Monkees’ Mickey Dolenz vibes.
Ontkean, meanwhile, really pushed my buttons because I found him so coolly sexy and handsome—starting even way back, yes, to when watching him originally on “The Rookies.”
