My husband was very good friends with Tommy Rettig, the young star of this film, while they were sophomores and juniors at Chaminade High School in LA in the 1950s, after which Tommy dropped out and my husband moved back to Honolulu where his Navy family was living.
Needless to say, we've watched this film and others many times.
"Dress me in the blossoms of a million pink trees"... hmm, maybe just a trifle gay.
I've seen this movie more than once and somehow have no memory of this scene (although let's face it, very few people watch it straight). I'm off to bed now and this will be the last thing I see for the day - here's to a spectacularly flamboyant nightmare!

When your mouth simply will not close for any reason while you're watching this says it all...
Be sure to steer clear of polka dotted dickies, they tend to be tainted weenies!
Hmm, sounds like the voice of experience!
Mornings at Thombeau's place?
Pretty much! Until the acid wears off.
This is definately pre-show Arcanta.
You just know those queens are complaining: "Why does he make us do this every time?"
Mr. Thom - this should be tagged 50s.

"One of the gayest things you'll see today."
ONE OF? No, Thom, THE gayest thing I'll see today. Seriously...
Actually, I think this turned every hetero within a 50 mile radius of my computer into a big homo.
today?
it's the gayest thing I've seen since my Bar Mitzvah.
