Song of the Loon

This groundbreaking classic gay love story made in 1969 is based on Richard Amory's best-selling trilogy and set in the American wilderness of 1870. Tame by today's permissive standards, Song of the Loon nevertheless remains one of the few examples of a sincere, well-produced film about unashamed and unpossessive gay male love. It was a landmark and controversial film for its promotion of "free love" rather than for its male nudity and kissing.
