Enjoyed this movie-first saw it when it was released in the theaters(1982),than purchased it when came out in video format(Beta and VHS). Had to wait long time for it to FINALLY-NOW!, be released in DVD format-VERY FUNNY,ENJOYABLE GAY COMEDY. It also point outs—helps the straight/hetrosexual(insight into the gay communtity and the relationship that exist within the homosexual community) sector of life.FUNNY,ENTERTAINING FOR ALL AUDIENCES-PARTICULARLY GAY AND GAY-FRIENDLY AUDIENCES!

I remember sitting in theater when this first came out, holding my breath and scared to death anyone would notice that I was gay.
Ryan O’Neal was beefcake du jour and John Hurt frightened me. I swear when he made me laugh I was the only one laughing.
For the times, this is a very affirmative film. Plus O’Neal is bound and stripped, which was a high school boy’s thrill.
I really loved this film and am so glad to have found it again.

Very funny movie with a Gay theme. A glimps of the past. No gay movie collection would be complete without this movie. Gay Romantic comedy. DVD arrived ahead of schedule. DVD was well packaged. I would order from this seller again.

A story about two police officers, one very macho bodybuilder type and an technology geek officer who hasn’t quite come out of the closet yet. I saw this decades ago and loved it then. It handles the gay situation with compassion and the Ryan O’Neal character learns to respect the gay officer. I ordered it as soon as I noticed it was available on DVD.
Charming story line and characters.
