Naptime Nightmares #066 - The Gay Deceivers (1969)
Happy Pride Month! We're kicking it off with a review of an LGBTQ cult classic. The Gay Deceivers (1969) was one of the first American films to portray include depictions of homosexuality after the elimination of the Hays Code that plagued Hollywood for decades. While we initially selected the film because of an oh-so-viral video of Michael Greer, we were splendidly surprised with how comfortably camp the film was.
The film follows two friends, Danny Devlin and Elliot Crane, who decide to dodge the draft by pretending to be in a gay relationship. Due to rules regarding the membership of homosexuals in the military in the 60s, they were quickly taken off the draft list. However, Danny is soon plagued with paranoia that the recruitment officer doesn't believe them and is investigating the validity of their claims. The only solution, Danny decides, is to move into a cozy bungalow with Elliot and pretend to be newlyweds.
We lived, we laughed, we loved.
