The film Different From The Others was released in 1919. This groundbreaking film was made 92 years ago, yet still remarkably relevant today. A gay musician finds love, but is also being blackmailed. He struggles with his sexuality, and how society reacts to his love. The music in the film is Jules Massenet's Méditation de Thaïs played by violinist Joshua Bell.
This is not the complete movie, but a good shortened version. I've seen the complete film, and it is rather remarkable. If you can, see it!
Howard, I didn't know they had converted it to DVD. Just put in in the Amazon wishlist.
