theyre searching for a murderer in the gay community
was naming the real estate scam "rainbow" an inside joke or just ignorance?
and why did the psychiatrist play the detective those private recordings of his therapy sessions? Doctor Patient confidentiality?!?!? How could those recordings have existed anyway?
the dvd cover says "this case could cost him his badge and his life"
nothing like that happens in this movie!
The rainbow was first used as a symbol of gay pride in 1978, 10 years after this film came out. So it's a HUGE coincidence.
I believe doctor-patient confidentiality ceases to exist when the patient dies.
It did cost him his badge (he gives it to the captain) and almost his life (he was shot at).
good points
was rainbow ever used by teh gay community informally earlier than that?
What "gay community" prior to 1970?
How is that "pedophilia community" activism working out right now?
Socially, the two situations are very similar - as homosexual activity was illegal in just about every locale back then - just like pedophilia is universally illegal now. Of course, there is the NAMBLA community...all underground and anonymous.
Rainbow was a dart at Robert Moses who wanted a cross Manhattan highway through Greenwich Village. His coalition dissected the Bronx, building the Cross Bronx hiway through the heart of Da Bronx destroying neighborhood communities along the way They raised property values after buying them knowing eminent domain was a'coming.
