Özet:

 

Back in 1982, 20th Century Fox took a bold step where no major film studio had gone  before by producing a movie entitled Making Love. Of course, films about lovemaking are old  hat, but this one was unique in that the sex occurred between two attractive young men,  Michael Ontkean and Harry Hamlin. The film was so bold in fact, that the producers prefaced  it with an announcement literally pleading for tolerance from the audience. Despite the risk  taken by the actors and the studio, the film was not a huge success and not even particularly  interesting beyond the prurience factor. It gained attention solely because of the subject  matter—a married doctor, Ontkean, married to Kate Jackson of Charlie’s Angels no less,  struggles against his hidden homosexuality and finally comes out, leaving Jackson for  Hamlin.
