Why are the Brits so fascinated with cross-dressing, homosexuality, and/or skewed sexual relationships in film? I don't get it and don't want to. This, to me, was a humorless mess. I have read previous comments about this being a great example of 70's self-indulgence and abuse but still: where were the psychodelics? I know from my 70's the group mainstay was not alcohol.Grant's performance was great, I guess George Harrison knew a whole lot of people like his character and felt compelled to throw cash at this production.
