Director’s cut turns disco drama 54 into a gay classic?
The original movie was recut because a test audience “found the characters irredeemable and the ending, in which Greg, Anita, and Shane find happiness, unacceptable.”
But Mark Christopher’s director’s cut was secretly screened at OutFest (listed in the festival program: “Set in 1970, New York City. The most glamorous nightclub the world has ever known. The original tale of a bisexual bartender, a busboy and an ambitious coat check girl”). I don’t think its available for purchase at the moment, but I’ll watch for it just to see Ryan Philippe’s awakening.
