Gay subjects in movies??

<< < (8/11) > >>

Well it played to a relatively conservative audience, so I supposed they figured they better put some "lipstick" on the film.   

I went with a group of hardcore straight college boys to see this film and even they noticed that they must have inserted those locker room and volleyball scenes in order to attract women to see the film.  ;D

May I re-say that Sal had ONLY a pic of a famous actor inside his locker??

Why?

Wasn't that obvious to the audience??
 And placed there on purpose??

Hugs!!

Yes, I think it's obvious that Sal Mineo's character Plato is supposed to be gay in Rebel Without a Cause.  Does anyone remember who the actor is who's picture Plato has in his locker?

If memory serves (and a quick verification on IMDb...I'm right!)....Alan Ladd

Artiste:
Thanks oilgun, than MaineWriter, and thanks to all too!!

Yes, I think too that it was Alan Ladd!!

Can someone find a pic of that locker pic?? Please.
.................

But why? Because Alan Ladd was gay??

Or was it Sal's choice to add that?? Or somebody elses??

Can someone find out??

Hugs!!

MaineWriter:
According to this site, Alan Ladd was straight.

He was married twice and had three children with his second wife. He died of an overdose of drugs (1964).
