Torch Song Trilogy DVD Summary
Harvey Fierstein
's Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway hit was adapted for the screen by Fierstein himself.
The playwright also repeats his stage role of female impersonator Arnold Beckoff, aka nightclub entertainer "Virginia Hamm.
" The three-part plotline, whittled down to accommodate the film's 117-minute running time, concerns Arnold's seriocomic efforts to find a lasting relationship.
We first meet Arnold in 1971, when his heart is broken by his bisexual lover (
Brian Kerwin
).
Next we find Arnold in 1973, enjoying short-lived happiness with his true love (
Matthew Broderick
).
The final act takes place in 1980: Arnold, still grieving over Broderick's sudden death and struggling to raise the young boy that the couple had adopted, has a long-anticipated showdown with his uncompromising mother, superbly played by
Anne Bancroft
.
A witty film that is by turns touching and outrageous,
Torch Song Trilogy
works well despite its somewhat soft-pedaled approach to the material.
