Film about the development of a lesbian romance between two women at a writers' retreat. A lot of women love this film, but I wasn't all that fond of it. Too much drinking for my tastes. Airs: > Sat. 3/23/96, 9:30 pm, Sundance Film Channel (SFC) > Sun. 3/24/96, 4:00 pm, SFC - TOGETHER ALONE. A reader notes that the Direct Choice DSS Guide describes this low-budget film this way: "After having unsafe sex, two gay men have a long, revelatory conversation, discussing the defining issues of their time: sexual identity, AIDS, feminism, gay liberation, and loneliness." Airs: > Sat. 3/23/96, 11:00 pm, Sundance Film Channel (SFC) > Sun. 3/24/96, 2:00 pm, SFC > Thurs. 3/28/96, 8:30 am (NOT pm), SFC > Thurs.-Fri. 3/28-29/96, 3:00 am, SFC - JUST ONE OF THE GUYS.

WORLD WIDE WEB GAY TV HOME PAGE (case-sensitive): http://pages.prodigy.com/NJ/carol_mortimer/gay_tv_menu.html Hi, folks! This is note #2 (of 8) of the list of tv shows with gay, lesbian, other sexual minority, and gay/straight AIDS themes, for the tv week of Sat 3/23/96 - Fri 3/29/96. Be sure to read all 8 notes! Most times Eastern. *************** CONTINUED FROM NOTE #1 ***************** - THE PELICAN BRIEF (CC). It is incidental to the plot, but one of the Supreme Court Justices who is killed early in this film turns out to have been a closeted gay man. Airs: > Sun. 3/24/96, 3:00 pm & 11:00 pm, Prism - MYSTERY: GALLOWGLASS. TV Guide says: "A three-part adaptation of 'Gallowglass,' Barbara Vine's novel about the bizarre relationship between two men and a dangerous scheme that targets a wealthy heiress." The type of relationship is not revealed, so this may or may not be gay-oriented. No promises. Check your local listings. This airs on some PBS stations this week, including: > Sun. 3/24/96, 9:00 pm, on New Jersey Network public tv stations (incl. Camden WNJS ch. 23, Trenton WNJT ch. 52, & WNJM ch. 50 in northern NJ) - all three parts - PERSONAL BEST (CC). Most of the lesbians I know really dislike this 1982 film about two Olympic athletes (Mariel Hemingway, Patrice Donnelly) who are lovers. A big objection is to their incredibly obnoxious male coach Terry (Scott Glenn). Airs: > Sun.-Mon. 3/24-25/96, 3:45 am, Encore > Thurs.-Fri. 3/28-29/96, 1:15 am, Encore - RICHARD BEY: DISAPPROVING OF A SISTER'S LIFESTYLE. No promises, but "lifestyle" is often a TV Guide euphemism for sexual orientation. Airs Mon. 3/25/96 in most areas, so check local listings. Airings include: > Mon. 3/25/96, noon, Phila. PA WPSG ch. 57 > Mon. 3/25/96, 4:00 pm, New York City WWOR ch. 9 (airs in NYC only; not on their national cable feed) - THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS (CC). This show has an AIDS/HIV storyline involving the character of Keesha. > Y&R's air time depends on location, so check listings. > On the east coast, Y&R airs weekdays at 12:30 pm on CBS - ALL MY CHILDREN (CC). This past week, Michael Delaney sued the school board for discrimination, for firing him from his job at Pine Valley High School. There were some great courtroom moments! This is a front burner story. AMC now has 3 ongoing gay male characters: history teacher Michael Delaney (Chris Bruno); teen Kevin Sheffield (Ben Jorgensen), whose homophobic brother Jason is in jail for a murder motivated by anti-gay hate; & WRCW Stage Manager Rudy. > Airs weekdays at 1:00 pm ET on ABC. - GENERAL HOSPITAL (CC). Robin Scorpio, a longtime female character, is HIV-positive. > Airs weekdays at 3:00 pm ET on ABC. - THE PRIVATE FILES OF J. EDGAR HOOVER. TV Guide says that this movie is a "sensationalistic look at the FBI chief's career". Given the 1977 production date, however, it is unlikely to get into his personal life. Airs: > Mon. 3/25/96, 7:00 pm, Encore > Tues. 3/26/96, 12:30 pm, Encore ************* TO BE CONTINUED ON NOTE #3 ************** Be sure to read all 8 notes!

PA WPSG ch. 57 > Wed. 3/27/96, 4:00 pm, NYC WWOR ch. 9 (in NYC only) - LAUREN HUTTON AND.... According to TV Guide, the scheduled guest is "Author John Pierson ('Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes')".

No promises on this one either; this is probably straight weddings that happen while skydiving, or something like that. But it seemed possible that they would toss in some same-sex weddings. Airs Fri. 3/29/96 in some (but NOT all) areas. Check your local listings. Scheduled airings include: > Fri. 3/29/96, 10:00 am, on NYC-based WPIX national cable ch. 11 - XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. TV Guide says "Xena has a tall order to fill trying to prevent a war between the Amazons and the Centaurs; and Gabrielle finds herself with some pretty big shoes to fill when she's chosen to replace an Amazon princess who died in her arms." (This probably won't be true to the legend of the Amazons, but ya never know.... No promises on gay content!) Syndicated, so check local listings. Airings include: > Fri. 3/29/96, 9:00 pm, on Phila. PA WPSG ch. 57 The following shows air once this week as far as I know: - GREETINGS FROM AFRICA. Airs Sat. 3/23/96, 10:30 pm, Sundance Film Channel. Robert L. says: "A young black woman searches for a girlfriend in New York City." - KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. Airs in Phila. PA on Sat. 3/23/96, 11:00 pm, on WHYY ch. 12. William Hurt and Raul Julia costar as two men who share a South American prison cell.

Most times Eastern. *************** CONTINUED FROM NOTE #3 ****************** - DOUBLE OBSESSION. Airs Sat.-Sun. 3/23-24/96, 1:30 am, Prism. I'm not sure about this one. TV Guide says "(1991) Violence, sexual situations, strong language. Psycho-saga about a woman (Margaux Hemingway) whose obsession with her college roommate (Maryam D'Abo) drives her to acts of violence." It doesn't reveal the nature of the obsession, and I don't recall ever having heard of this one, so.... - VICTOR/VICTORIA. Airs Sun. 3/24/96, 4:30 pm, Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Great and VERY gay-positive musical comedy with Julie Andrews pretending to be a drag queen. Highly recommended. - THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT. Airs Sun. 3/24/96, 9:00 pm, The Movie Channel. TV Guide calls this a "delightfully campy account of three transvestites' offbeat escapades as they traverse the Australian outback in their ramshackle bus, 'Priscilla.'" A reader reports that the movie is actually about two transvestites and a transsexual. - THE ACADEMY AWARDS/OSCARS (CC). Airs Mon. 3/25/96, 9:00 pm, ABC (live). I know that many share my disappointment that the wonderful documentary THE CELLULOID CLOSET (based on Vito Russo's book) was not nominated in the Best Documentary/Feature category. However, some excellent films were nominated for Best Documentary/Short Subject. One of them, THE SHADOW OF HATE: A HISTORY OF INTOLERANCE IN AMERICA, is a superb review of all forms of hate and prejudice throughout this country's history. This film makes bigotry very personal, by showing cases of *individuals* who have been hurt, in addition to large groups. It includes the case of Charlie Howard, a gay man who died when homophobes threw him off of a Bangor Maine bridge in 1984 because he was gay. This powerful film was produced by Charles Guggenheim for The Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance Project. (The 40 minute video, an excellent companion book: "US AND THEM" by Jim Carnes, and a teachers' guide are all available FREE OF CHARGE to schools whose principals request it in writing on school letterhead. Send request letters to THE SHADOW OF HATE, c/o Teaching Tolerance, 400 Washington Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36104.) - THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT STORY. Airs in NYC NY on Mon. 3/25/96, 9:00 pm, on WNET ch. 13. 1965 documentary. TV Guide says: "Oscar-winning reflections on the life and work of the former First Lady (1884-1962)." Given the year it was made, this film will NOT discuss E.R.'s reported lesbian relationship with reporter Lorena Hickok. (The relationship was only discovered in 1978, when the FDR Library in Hyde Park released the private correspondence between E.R. and "Hick.") - ED WOOD (CC). Airs Mon. 3/25/96, 9:00 pm, The Movie Channel. Great film about the straight cross-dressing film director (played by Johnny Depp). His friends included many gay and transgendered folks. Oscar-winner Martin Landau is superb as Bela Lugosi, and Bill Murray is great as Bunny Breckinbridge. ************* TO BE CONTINUED ON NOTE #5 ***************** Be sure to check all 8 notes.

Most times Eastern. *************** CONTINUED FROM NOTE #4 ****************** - COMEDY HOUR: PAULA POUNDSTONE GOES TO HARVARD. Airs Mon. 3/25/96, 11:00 pm, HBO-2. Robert L. reports that Paula has a great line in this show about Colorado anti-gay fundamentalists. - INDEPENDENT IMAGES. Airs in Phila. PA on Mon. 3/25/96, 11:00 pm, on WHYY ch. 12. Among the shorts airing Mon. is "Cross Dressing Ken". - ORLANDO (CC). Airs Tues. 3/26/96, 5:45 pm, The Movie Channel. Film about a person who lives 400 years and manages to change genders several times without the benefit of surgery. Based on the Virginia Woolf story. Despite the intriguing premise, this is an *incredibly* boring movie. - POSITIVE HEALTH. Airs in Phila. PA on Tues. 3/26/96, 7:30 pm, WYBE ch. 35. A local show by and for people with AIDS and HIV disease. - DANA CARVEY SHOW (CC). Airs Tues. 3/26/96, 9:30 pm, ABC. According to readers, this new series had several gay elements last week, including one that seemed like it might be a recurring segment: an animated short about a pair of superheroes called "The Ambiguously Gay Duo." (Robert L. wrote: "Bad guys keep getting distracted, trying to figure out if our heroes are a 'couple.'") No promises on gay content, but it sounds likely. - SIDNEY SHORR. Airs in Phila. PA on Tues.-Wed. 3/26-27/96, 3:00 am, on WPHL ch. 17. TV Guide says "(Made for TV, 1981) Tony Randall plays a middle-aged homosexual whose dreary life is brightened by his new roommate, a spirited young acress (Lorna Patterson). Pilot for the 1981-83 series 'Love, Sidney.'" (This film was the first - and nearly the last- time the character's sexual orientation was revealed.) - MAKING OF KIDS IN THE HALL - BRAIN CANDY (CC). Airs Tues.-Wed. 3/26-27/96, 4:05 am, HBO. TV Guide says that this is "a behind-the-scenes look at the 1996 movie." My readers confirm that this movie DOES have gay content. - EAGLE SCOUT: THE STORY OF HENRY NICOLS (CC). Airs Wed. 3/27/96, noon, HBO. Documentary about a teenage Eagle Scout who gives talks to kids about his HIV infection and his fight against AIDS. - BALLOT MEASURE 9. Airs Wed. 3/27/96, 8:00 pm, Cinemax. TV Guide says "(1994) Chronicling the battle over a 1992 Oregon initiative that would have repealed state laws protecting gay sfrom discrimination. Included: speeches by leaders of the group that sponsored the measure. Directed by Heather MacDonald." - CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC. Airs in Phila. PA on Thurs.-Fri. 3/28-29/96, 2:00 am, WPHL ch. 17.

Airs Fri. 3/29/96, 7:00 pm, Comedy Central. 1981 film starring George Hamilton as the swordsman's twin sons, who take over for their father after his death. One is straight, and the other is a flaming queen. Picture Zorro in a lavender tassled hat! Lots of stereotypical moments, but great fun anyway. - DUE SOUTH (CC). Airs Fri. 3/29/96, 8:00 pm, CBS. TV Guide says: "It's a real drag when Fraser's quest for a rare bottle of scotch leads to an undercover stint as a female teacher at a Catholic girls school, where he winds up investigating the disappearance of a street-wise student." ********************************************************* That's it for this week's gay & AIDS tv shows.

TV Guide says: "(Made for TV; 1988) Emmy-winning fact-based story with Jack Lemmon as a Georgia governor put on the spot by a controversial case." I've never seen the film, but Mary Phagan was a 13 year old Atlanta factory worker who was murdered in a particularly brutal crime in April of 1913. Leo Frank, her Jewish National Pencil Company superintendent, became the scapegoat for her murder, due to a wave of intense anti-Semitism in Atlanta. The trial was a national outrage; Frank was found guilty and sentenced to death despite a complete lack of evidence. When another man later confessed to the crime, the governor commuted Frank's death penalty and ordered a review of the case. Shortly thereafter, a mob kidnapped Leo Frank from jail and lynched him anyway. (Note: This case is discussed at length in the documentary film "THE SHADOW OF HATE.") - LT. HENRY O FLIPPER.
