Because of the censorship inherent in political correctness, certain films that were once repeated on some TV stations have now been effectively banned but are still available on YouTube. Apart from some excellent films on YouTube, there are also many that will appeal to the connoisseur of cinematic kitsch. Among these is one that I watched recently called 'Staircase' that concerns two homosexual hairdressers who live above their shop in London. Directed, surprisingly, by Stanley Donen who excelled in musicals such as 'Singing in the Rain', it stars Richard Burton and Rex Harrison who give two of the most camp performances ever to blight the screen. There is no actual storyline but rather a series of vignettes in which both men try scoring points off each other with verbal *****iness.
Although the homosexuality is implied rather than explicitly presented, the 'plot' revolves around a court summons issued to the Rex Harrison character for wearing women's clothes in public and his fear of being exposed as homosexual.
Made in 1969, it seems a fitting end to a decade of silliness when the vox had never been so pop and remains so until this day.
On a scale of 0 - 10 it has gotta be zero.
