Okay here is a movie reccomendation: The Canterville Ghost.
This 1944 comedy is based on a story by Oscar Wilde (which is available online) and stars 6 year old Margaret O'Brein, Robert Young (Marcus Welby) and Charles Laughton. Its cute, features a troop of WWII era soldiers staying in a haunted castle, sleeping in their starched whities.
About an hour into the movie the soldiers are at a dance in town, where of course they teach the locals how to boogie-woogie. Then the most amazing thing, two soldiers clasp hand and cut the rug. Two guys, in 1944! And can they dance? They had had some practice.
I know it is all "innocent", like Young's characters obvious dedication to the 6 years old, but damn. What must a gay man, maybe passed over by the draft for sexual inversion, have thought sitting in the dark of the theater and seeing them two handsome men dance across the screne? Some thing like hope I imagine.
