how would two guys who consider themselves straight and have a hard time yielding to mutual and mutually repressed feelings act like? You don't expect Cary Grant popping a bottle of bubbly and offering it to a coy Audrey Hepburn, do you?
Undeveloped? That was the POINT! They didn't get together very often (remember the one remonstrating with the other several times in key scenes?) and society in them thar parts didn't cotton much to them types of feelins (remember the axe handle scene?).
Anyhow, I've seen Crash and its good but not of the same calibre. Walk the Line and Cinderella Man definitely are "B" movies.

As I said, we didn't find the relationship believable and that detracted from the film for us. We found Crash to be a much more thought provoking film. Different strokes (no pun intended).

  Having known closeted gay lovers, the relationship seemed entirely plausible to me, especially given the era and locale.
  I haven't seen Crash so I can't comment.
  I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the end of BM.
