I first saw this short when it was incorporated into the independent film, THE CELLULOID CLOSET. It was a film that dealt with the way the film industry handled the situation of homosexuality over the years. This short was the first thing they showed. I thought that that was appropriate since it showed two men dancing in each others arms. I'm not gay myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film (CELLULOID CLOSET) as it gave me a fairly new insight in the world of homosexuality.
