Review of The Boys in the Band

The Boys in the Band, 1970, directed by the great William Friedkin and with a matchless cast is one of the greatest films ever made about gays. This version is an exact shot-by-shot remake with a less-talented director and a cast which, while doing their utmost, cannot match up to the original cast. My question is, just as with Gus van Sant's remake of Psycho, who on earth would watch a reproduction when the real thing is readily available? Do yourself a favor, go see the classic original not the copy.
