The studio marketed Making Love as "one of the most honest and controversial films we have ever released," adding that "it may be too strong for some people." That was then, and what once seemed shocking now seems tame. Still, it's hard to imagine the more sexually explicit Brokeback Mountain without it. On the surface, Beverly Hills physician Zack (Michael Ontkean, Twin Peaks) and his TV producer wife, Claire (Kate Jackson, Charlie's Angels), are the ideal couple. A smartly-dressed Gilbert and Sullivan fan, Zack appears to have little in common with denim-clad, openly-gay novelist Bart (Harry Hamlin, L.A. Law). They meet when Bart makes an appointment for a check-up, and the two hit it off. Turns out they share a love of "corny old movies." Afterwards, Zack can't stop thinking about his vain, if affectionate patient. Lunch leads to dinner, which leads to physical intimacy (sex is suggested rather than shown). Zack is falling in love, but Bart has no interest in commitment, and Claire suspects another woman. Making Love is narrated by Claire and Bart, who speak directly to the camera. It's unclear whether Arthur Hiller, best known for Love Story, is going for documentary-style realism or foreign film-style sophistication, but the technique does differentiate Making Love from your average soap opera (story credit goes to Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg). Though Hamlin has maintained the highest profile since, it's the sensitive performances of Ontkean and Jackson that anchor this no longer groundbreaking, but still relevant romantic drama. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Probably the best movie about gay subject matter before Brokeback Mountain. It deals with the issue in a very rational, non-stereotypical, and realistic way. You wont find any lisping queens in drag, though most of the gay characters are quite promiscuous. This was the pre-AIDs era after all.
The DVD itself is very bargain-basement. My case arrived with a warped and cheap feeling cover. No booklet. No features other than the theatrical trailer (complete with the "OMG this movie might ... Read More

A wonderful film about coming out in the 1990's. I remember going to see this film in the movie theaters like 4-5 times. It was just before I came out myself and it meant so much to me to see this in a mainstream movie theater. As I watched this dvd, all of those memories came flooding back. A beautiful love story and also a story of a man discovering himself. A classic film for anyone interested in how being gay has been interpreted in cinema.

this is a gay themed love story, about a married man's struggle to accept his homosexuality. he is torn between two worlds and doesnt want
to hurt the woman he loves, but needs to be true to himself at the same time.

This is one of those films that makes your realize just how far we've come from quality, creative filmmaking. I was really shocked at how much I enjoyed this film the second time around so many years later. It must be that I'm so bored with modern crap. At the time this film was released in 1982 (just prior to AIDS becoming a household word), it was considered rather dull and contrite. I remember watching it when I was a kid, and thought it was a snoozer, too. Now, 27 years later, it's like watching ... Read More
