What are some of the other old (pre 1970) movies with lesbian plots or subplots?
I remember only one Black and White movie where lesbianism of one character is implied, but I can't remember the name. It's about a haunted house.
Dracula's Daughter. really. Tho it may not be a classic.

Young Man With A Horn (1950)
shareThe Haunting. A great Robert Wise film.

The Uninvited
Dracula's Daughter
Queen Christina
"Calamity Jane" (1953) is basically a lez love story, with a couple of guys thrown in for window dressing.
Yes, Doris Day not only made a thinly disguised lesbian movie, she played a butchy butch and did it well!
The Killing of Sister George
Rachel, Rachel
Madchen in Uniform (which has been filmed twice)
The Fox from 1967 involves a same-sex romance between two women.
Pandora's Box has a lesbian subplot.
I haven't seen Johnny Guitar, but people always go on about how that movie has lesbian subtext.
There’s a 1936 version of The Children’s Hour (Lillian Hellman’s play) with Miriam Hopkins and Merle Oberon called These Three.
