“I think one of the questions today is does it still hold up, with its open discussion of sexual promiscuity in that pre-AIDS time period, and for me, the answer is definitely ‘yes’. It still holds up as a human document.” - Jonathan Abarbanel talking about the relevance of THE BOYS IN THE BAND, which originally premiered in 1968.
