5.0 out of 5 stars A serious look at gay Hollywood, 23 May 1999
By A Customer
Ehrenstein's book is a fine overview of Hollywood's treatment of gay and lesbian actors/actresses. There was a lot in the book that I was not aware of, and I've been a dedicated movie fan for five decades. He surprised even me with anecdotes about people I never "suspected". I'll be sure to seek out his earlier works, and am waiting for the next book.

Dish on, David!

1.0 out of 5 stars Much ado about very little, 21 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is one of those annoying books where the author writes and writes and says nothing. He draws from a lot of better sources, but can't make anything original or readable out of all the tidbits of superior material. It's like somebody who talk a lot but says nothing. A veritable snooze fest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most Gay-Hollywood studies., 2 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This book is slightly more academic perhaps than most of the Gay Hollywood books are. If you're really interested in the history of Hollywood's treatment of gays ... in front of the camera and behind; closeted and out... then this is a good starting point. Written compactly, it allows us a glimpse of things those of us outside the industry might otherwise not know.

Worth a look.
