Product Description

A Bit of Scarlet excavates clips from Britain's cinema archives to create a moving and humorous testament to the closeted gay and lesbian images from filmmaking's earliest days.

Following gay characters as they go from being the butt of jokes to full-blown leading characters, Weiss has captured a playful, occasionally melodramatic, insight into on-screen queer representation. With Ian McKellen as narrator and witty graphics to introduce each theme, A Bit of Scarlet reveals to what lengths the film industry went to include and yet ridicule gay characters. Both well-known portraits - like John Hurt's performance in The Naked Civil Servant and Dirk Bogarde in Victim- and many more obscure finds, make for a telling post-modern look at British queer cinema.

A Bit of Scarlet (Institutional Use) Review

Andrea Weiss has produced an extremely entertaining and empowering documentary of the queer side of British film history which compliments The Celluloid Closet beautifully (they were both works in progress at the same time).

I recently remastered the recording of my half hour interview with Andrea from 1st August 1997, for Queer Radio on 4ZZZfm, when she was invited by the Brisbane International Film Festival to present "A Bit Of Scarlet". Andrea was enthusiastic and deservedly proud of this feature. However she was shocked when the projectionist showed the last few reels out of order. I'm over the moon that A Bit Of Scarlet is now available on DVD - I want to see A Bit Of Scarlet in its entirety exactly as Andrea intended.

Wonderful, stylish, inventive, historically unique and truly vital documentary film-making. Highly recommended.
