It was not until after I watched this movie that I learned that it was made for TV; But I noticed some production qualities that seemed a bit strange -- for example, the abrupt scene changes that I now see were for commercial breaks; I didn't see it in 1992 when it first came out (no pun intended); it was probably a trail blazer back then; but it has not aged well; I don't think I would put it on my list of "best" gay themed movies -- "Better" maybe; But still worth seeing.
