    If you like "the room", you'll love this

    This film does represent a historical piece of gay film. It's funny, dreadful, sweet and tender in bits! Don't watch this if you take things too seriously.

    Artifact of a Time Past

    A man's man finds working in a Bath House with a gay leaning clientele. When he tells this to her girlfriend, he seems uneasy with all the gayness in the area but continues to do so AND ingratiated her with his boss in the process. He falls in love AND things change for their good for all people involved.

    I personally think this is fine. This has a very sharp edge since it talks specifically about the toxic masculinity but this felt rushed and quite stereotypic at that.

    The gay subsection of the film just does not do it justice. There are sections that I felt that it kinda leaned far too much towards gay stereotypes rather than makes me squirm sometimes. I think it glosses far too much characterization for my liking AND when it ended - It felt like there is still a whole act missing. It just makes an ambivalent feeling about the thirst. I felt that there is more there that the film could at least talk about.

    PS: I think the hustler in the very start has early signs of AIDS. He has face lesions that I think is a symptom. It does not help that he died apparently in 1983.

    Not recommended.

    1975 double bill - WOW!

    I would LOVE to see this movie again. I saw it as a double bill with "Something for Everyone" with Michael York in 1975. It was incredible. I went home and shaved off my beard. The movie was entertaining and, beyond that, sincere and optimistic - like the spirit of the late 60's and early 70's. If I ever had the chance to see this film again, within about a 300 mile radius, I'd be there. It was transformative. It lives as a legend in my memory.

    A time capsule

    It's not a great piece of film making so don't expect a monumental tour de force of cinema. But as a specific glimpse into a turning point of American history it's well worth your observation. What is valuable is the the documentation of early 70s gay life and early 70s New York City... Pre-AIDS, pre/cusp gay liberation, a failing NYC under Mayor Beame and a glimpse into the values and lifestyle during a very tumultuous time sandwiched between the free love/rock and roll 60s and the decadent/greed is good 80s. From that sociological perspective it's worth a watch.

    Frightenly awful.

    I guess they spent all the money on buying the 35mm film stock because they sure didn't spend any money on lighting equipment or time on the sound dubbing stage. The thing looks and sounds like a sorry attempt at filmmaking 101 out of a high school freshman film class. You can find MUCH better, all-around, well-constructed home-made attempts at gay-themed videos on Youtube.

    Here you have a terrible script, terrible editing, worse than terrible lighting, and "direction," such as it is, which meanders all over the place, never knowing where its focus is or what it wants to be at any giving moment. And this level of directorial incompetence is really not surprising since the director is one David Buckly whose only claim to fame is that he dabbled in the sexploitation/porn business with the pop porn culture film DEBBIE DOES DALLAS. Evidently he had a lot more success with heterosexual porn than with its homosexual counterpart. Saturday NIGHT AT THE BATHS doesn't even rise to that level of trash.

    To be honest, I attend many film festivals at which I've have to endure some pretty poor attempts at film-making; this is a good example of the worst -- the ones that make you think the selection committee had to have been on crack to have let it in.

    There are long stretches of scenes where the director never was savvy enough to yell "cut" or the editor having the smarts to use his splicer; actors more often than not seem to be lost for the next line...or thought. Then there's the drag show sequences in the bath house that go on and on to the point where you might be thinking you've mistakenly gotten tricked into seeing a bad musical starring some VERY ugly women. These long, full song renditions by drag queens don't have the slightest reason for being there and don't move the story forward not an inch.

    Same complaint for the painfully long dance floor sequences with bad music and guys jumping around supposedly there to look like they are having fun (oh look, liberated gays can be happy) but those particular sequences are so badly lit that you can barely see anyone anyway. This Lighting Director evidently never heard of key light and side fill.

    The only bright spot in this whole mess is actor Don Scotti, an impish, delightful lad with beautiful eyes, whose acting style is so natural and unaffected that even with the often laughable dialog, he manages to remain credible; he is quite magnetic on screen and steals every scene he is in. As for the other actors, all I can say is, given the material and lack of any semblance of direction, they do a passable job, although the least effective and least sexually alluring of all is the female lead (was she cast intentionally so the audience could more easily believe that her boyfriend might indeed look elsewhere for erotic passion?)-- her overbite is frightening and throughout the whole hodgepodge, after about the first 10 minutes, her presence starts getting REALLY annoying.

    Our male "straight" lead who is uncertain of many things, not the least of which is what his next line, is asked to bring machismo with an undercurrent of homosexual tension to his character -- a very complex emotional mix to achieve and make believable, even for a seasoned actor under a top-tier director; this guy, Robert Anderson, doesn't have the acting chops nor, quite frankly, the masculine good looks to come even close to what is needed; a Jake Gyllenhaal or Heath Ledger he is not.

    One poster commented, "Rent it, don't buy it." I would say, do neither and don't waste your time on it even if you can find it for free. Wait, I take that back -- if you happen to be a film teacher, you can always use this title in your class when you are teaching the chapter "All the Things That Can Go Wrong When Making a Film."

    • Trivia
      The show at the Baths was attended by over 800 extras, who included some of New York's elite. They were all paid $1.00 for their part and had to sign releases before they were admitted. The revue "Beyond the Fringe" was playing at the time and the astute viewer can see Dudley Moore and Peter Cook sipping a drink in the crowd.

      During the post-football conversation Michael's shirt buttons and unbuttons between shots.
    • Citas

      [Michael apologizes for an insensitive, homophobic remark he made earlier]

      Michael: You gotta realize, man, where I'm comin' from, see. Where I come from, what you do with fags is punch 'em in the mouth.

      [He gently, playfully punches Scotti's jaw]

      Scotti: Does that make it right, Michael?

      Michael: No. but, uh, on an Air Force base that's just the way it is, you know. Everybody's super-butch.

      Scotti: Is that where you're from?

      Michael: Yeah. And, y'know, everybody just talks like that, so I guess I've always been like that.

      Scotti: Always?

      Michael: Well, maybe not always. I remember when I was twelve, I knew a guy who was a fighter pilot. His name was Greg, and he was a lot more sensitive than the rest of 'em, you know. He used to... he kind of befriended me... . One time we went out fishing, hit a flash storm, came on us. We got really drenched. There was a cabin there, but nobody put any firewood inside, so we couldn't get a fire going, couldn't get dry. We took off all our clothes, though, and there were a couple-a blankets, and we wrapped up in the blankets and tried to get warm... . I guess I went to sleep like that.

      [he pauses, and lets out a deep breath]

      Michael: The next thing I knew, man, I was flyin' across the room and lights were - flashlights were in my eyes, and, uh, it was my father and a couple of non-coms with him, and they grabbed Greg, pushin' him around and yellin' obscene things, and, y'know, he flipped out. Anyway, the lesson of the story is that I learned, y'know, not to - I learned not to put hands on other men.

      Scotti: Did you love him?

      Michael: Yeah, I guess I did.

      Scotti: Y'know, Michael, if it weren't for your old man, you'd be normal.

      [They both laugh]
