As one of the men in this story reminds us, Hollywood is the dream factory. Not only do they bring fantasies to the screen, they create a world where the truth is colorized to match what they sell: fantasy heterosexual loves and lives. Gilbert/Burt and Ned and their love for each other is doomed from the first moment, but the way Robert Weibezahl shows us, they are doing their heart's best in a world where they can't be themselves. A heart-breaking story beautifully told.
