Product Description:

Like DOWN WITH LOVE, STRAIGHT-JACKET plays fast and loose with the conventions of the 1950s Technicolor romantic comedy. Appropriately, it is also inspired by the true-life story of closeted homosexual actor Rock Hudson, who starred in many such comedies. Guy Stone (Matt Letscher) is a matinee heart-throb whose popularity is matched by his libido. But when a scandal sheet threatens to reveals his homosexuality, which in the climate of the time would destroy his career, his agent marries him off to an unsuspecting secretary. When Guy then falls for gay screenwriter Rick, however, he is tempted to end his marriage and openly embrace his sexuality. STRAIGHT-JACKET satirizes classic Hollywood romantic comedies by giving them a queer twist.
