"Although the British-made film "Darling" (1965) was one of the earliest films to depict gay characters in a sympathetic light, the closets were bursting on the set. There was Harvey, of course, but also Dirk Bogarde, who although deeply closeted, was having an affair with director John Schlesinger. Bogarde, who carried on a 40-year relationship with his agent, Tony Forwood, invested considerable energy in trying to portray himself publicly as a heterosexual."
"Fifty years on the movie seems a little tame and meandering with Bogarde coming across as utterly bored with the whole process of making the film. Which was maybe surprising as he was having an affair with Schlesinger at the time."
