British label Second Sight will release on Blu-ray William Friedkin's film
The Boys in the Band (1970), starring Kenneth Nelson, Frederick Combs, Cliff Gorman, Laurence Luckinbill, and Keith Prentice. The release will be available for purchase on November 12.
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.
