- Synopsis:
- A group of thirty-something gay men gather to celebrate a birthday, but before long, tensions rise, secrets emerge and the insults begin to fly. Director William Friedkin reassembled the original cast for his film adaption of the ground-breaking Broadway hit. Playwright Mart Crowley adapted his own play, creating a script full of acerbic speeches and cutting one liners for his cast of unforgettable characters. Released 50 years after its Broadway debut - a year before the Stonewall riots - 'The Boys in the Band' still has the power to shock.
