...Lawrences travel from New Mexico to Mexico. Where Lawrence is diagnosed tubercular, and return to wander through Europe in search of a cure. Miles uses Lawrence's ambiguous sexual orientation as a vehicle for suspense. It is intensely depressing to watch lan McKellen and Janey Suzman frolic in bed with all the emotion and ingenuousness of a whoreand her john. It is even more discouraging to see McKellen swimmaked on his back in an English lake. Gratuitous nudity translates this unmanageable passion Miles seems so intent on portraying into a vulgar act with all the subtlety of a road-side...

Many of the onlookers could have been anywhere--the well-dressed, well-groomed young men and women who wander around Quincy Market eating overpriced ice cream when they're not doing the same in the Square. Others were more Cantabrigian--t-shirts and cutoffs, mid-20s, long hair. And some, though not a lot, were hippies, for lack of a better term. Harvard Square...
