Apart from the turgid '‘prob lem" dramas of the early '80s, where homosexual protagonists were viewed from a heterosexu al perspective, homosexual characters have been relegated to colorful secondary roles in most mainstream films. Though a number of inde pendent and foreign produc tions have managed positive portrayals of gay and lesbian characters. Hollywood has tra ditionally portrayed such sexu al orientations as deviant. This comedy drama explores the life of a gay man the way most films portray the lives of heterosexual characters. Fier stein reprises his stage role as Arnold Beckoff, a female im personator at a gay club. Though he doesn't ignore his "difference” from straight soci ety. as best exemplified by his mother (Anne Bancroft), nei ther does Fierstein exploit or sensationalize. Arnold's sexu ality is not aberrant; it is sim ply the way he is. Such an approach should not seem revolutionary (and it sure ly is not), but it marks a big step for traditionally conserva tive Hollywood, whose forays into presenting lesbian rela tionships have usually been ac companied by gratuitous scenes of female nudity. Gay relationships offer no such exploitation angle (male nudity is not a big selling point as films go). Any film seriously portraying gay characters and relationships must instead sur vive by its merits as a dra ma/comedy. Torch Song survives by its merits. Fierstein shines as the warm. vulnerable Arnold, stumbling through romance in the search for a meaningful re lationship. Bancroft is excellent as his loving but combative mother, who sees her son's ho mosexuality us a defect or a dis ease.
