John Hurt collected a Best Actor BAFTA for his flawless portrayal of gay icon Quentin Crisp, a flamboyant performer and pop-culture personality who railed against the rigid social mores of pre-World War II Britain, where homosexuality was illegal. John Rhys-Davies also stars in this bittersweet made-for-TV movie, which is based on Crisp's autobiography of the same name and caused considerable controversy when it first aired in 1975.
Running time: 77 minutes
