Yes, it is amateurish and clumsy. But if you look beyond that, you will see one of the first films to actually address the gay experience from a gay point of view. Being pressured to conform, not giving in to that pressure, not being ashamed of who you are - just confused. Accepting yourself, carrying on with your life and seeing what the new day will bring. For 1966, this is a pretty radical statement. Give it another chance.
This was one of the most stupid movies I have ever watched . I have nothing more to add.
I had to watch this film 3 times because of all the buffering..John Waters probably watched this 100's of times and used it as a template for his future movies..Anyway, no lessons learned, no real social value, but with a bit of shock value..Kind of like walking into your brothers bedroom and seeing him having sex with a transvestite..
