Sean's sexuality remains moot through much of the film -until the moment when he forces a chilly Tracy down on a bed and mutters, "I understand the needs of a woman...

Often, real estate dealers would lure a low-income family into buying a ghetto house, perhaps by putting up part of the down payment.
