I caught this on Youtube and overall liked the themes of class conscientiousness, alcoholism and a self-loathing gay man. Acting was adequate but a there was a lot that felt contrived such as all the purely by chance "meetings" of the two main characters. Wish the ending had been more real. Lee had just shouted that he wasn't gay, walks away and then within minutes had a serious change of heart. Direction and timing was lacking here. And then the final kiss was too much, too unbelievable given the context. It should have been heartwarming and deeply emotional, but instead it was Hollywood's typical gesture of what true love is all about....smooching of the lips.
