Tidy Endings

The one thing that Marion (Stockard Channing) and Arthur (Harvey Fierstein) ever had in common - her ex-husband and his lover - has been lost to them both. Arthur is gay and lost his lover Collin because of AIDS. Though he is gone, the pain of his death from AIDS lingers on and he realizes that the spectra of AIDS will haunt him forever. Now the two people he loved must come to terms with his absence and each other. They are thrown into a battle by the loss, both needing a scapegoat for his death. Eventually, they discover strength, love and friendship from each other. This an incredible movie that is fabulous, well-written, well-acted, and extremely moving. Harvey Fierstein did an incredibly job of writing and acting in this movie and Stockard Channing is, as always, amazing.

I love this movie so much and I have ever since I watched it multiple times on HBO in the 1980's. The acting in it is so wonderful, the characters are created in a way that you are drawn into their lives and you become part of the story and feel what they are feeling.

Please, either play this on HBO again and notify interested parties, or better than that, bring this film out on DVD. It is such a shame that it has sat on a shelf all these years and denied the viewing of thousands of people that this film could help.

I rank this film up there with all of the gay classics. I think you have my point by now so I will stop hounding you. Just Please put this film on DVD, you would make a few bucks, and a lot of loyal fans happy. Thanks
