Trivia

Infamous New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael never reviewed the movie properly, but eluded to having seen it in a 1984 review of director Arthur Hiller's film "The Lonely Guy". She called "Making Love" 'ineffable' (not able to describe adequately with words) which was probably a put-down.

It read: "I believe it to be a very fine motion picture and I admire its boldness. It is well acted, beautifully directed, and it is my hope that it will receive a favorable public response. I congratulate the producers for taking a controversial subject and bringing it to the screen in an honest and sensitive manner".

Quotes

Zach Elliot: Bart.

Bart: The night he died I went into a gay bar for the first time. I didn't do it to celebrate or anything. I did it 'cause I was pissed. Pissed that I never got the chance to tell him that his all American right fielder liked to get it on with other right fielders. I wanted to see the look in his eyes. God I wanted that scene.

Bart: "If it feels good, do it. You don't get any points for playing by the rules."
