Weird...I guess homosexuals were all classified as pedofiles back in the '50s? Incredible ignorance and intolerance but the only thing that was actually discussed in the film was pedophilia, yet it was always called homosexuality. Was there any distinction back then?

'Boys beware! One never knows when the homosexual is about, he may appear normal, and it may be too late when you discover he is mentally ill.'

We prefer it that way! BWAHAHAHA!!!

We can't convert you if you are wise to the secret... And once you fall, you'll never go back!

IN all seriousness, perhaps it's more about the dangers of hitching? lol!

Yes, still to this day seems to be the assumption that homsexuality is akin to paediophilia. Obviously that is not correct, but it lingers still. One of the one times I will admit our male centered world still gets unfair attention. How many young girls are assulted, but because it's 'straight' it's not as weird?

CONTROVERSIAL COMMENT AHEAD: Course if we had better recourse and punishment in institutions like he Catholic Church, this may not be so taboo and so malecentric.

There may be a link to homosexual (or sexual) abusers and child abuse, but it is certainly not backwards. Obviously many (nearly all, as many as straight people) gays and may lesbians have proven they do not abuse children, they just prefer their own sex. There is no link between being gay and being a child abuser.

Many of us (all of us, gay, straight, unich, transexual) may be leather wearing, roleplaying, porn watching freaks. But we don't abuse our children.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: I love how the music is light and happy through some weird parts. Are all young boys named Jimmy? This film was at least good about teaching about paediophiles, just wish they didn't make the link to homosexuality.

what's really fascinating is that they managed to get jack nicholson to play the part of the homosexual.

Nahhh, I'm not coming out of anywhere. Just a very secure guy trying to be controversial. I could relate expereiences but not sure anyone wants to hear anything that wouldn't come to such a hollywood conclusion.

Very straight, just very comforable and very much believe in the love of all. As I have tried to spread in my non-conventional spritual leanings.

You seem unusualy nervous Fotze. What's bugging you?

For the record I do enjoy ribs, as for the poking I usually enjoy it one way. Up to you to decide which way.

Wow, in my first night back I managed to get under the skin of the unflappable clown. And without being rude or unFotzelike either.

Just remember, Fotze and all others, he challenged and made fun first.

Adieu my good man, adieu.

that's almost as funny as that propaganda movie from the late 30s i believe called "marijuana madness" or something. iirc it says weed is worse than coke in that movie. and a guy kills somebody because he's all crazy from the weed.

it was just rereleased in color a little while ago.

remember kids, the most important action when you encounter an individual you suspect might just be a homosexual: duck and cover.

I own a copy of that movie, and I have to say that 60 years later it was one of the greatest unintentional comedies of its time.

I understand that there was a spoofy remake done of it a few years ago.

I also heard Kevin Lowe was using this video to learn tactics to attract UFA's.

My buddy who works for a radio station told me he saw Lowe fishing with Sheldon Souray and plaiyng basketball with Brendan Shanahan!

Most acts of pedophilia involve men with boys, and since the definition of homosexual is male to male...you see why they were called homosexuals.
Of course you could be a homosexual and not a pedophile, or be a pedophile and not homosexual. But this was the 50's when most in the public had no idea that they were actually seperate.
