Song Of The Loon

A classic gay love story made in 1968 is based on Richard Amory's best-selling trilogy, and set in the American wilderness of 1870. Song Of The Loon is tame by today's permissive standards, but this 1969 production nevertheless remains one of the few examples of a sincere, well-produced film about unashamed and unpossessive gay male love. Song Of The Loon was a landmark and controversial film for its promotion of "free love" rather than for its male nudity and kissing. Troubled by sexual conflicts and pursued by a vengeful preacher and a former lover, young Ephraim MacIver seeks and finds peace of mind with the help of a handsome cowboy and a wise Indian medicine man. This movie is a sixties ode to the beauties of pristine wilderness, Native-American wisdom, male muscularity and handsomeness, gay self-acceptance, and a "do your own thing" philosophy!
