Frank Vitale's Montreal Main (1972)
Frank Vitale stars as a gay, misunderstood, 1960's-ish artist living on Blvd St. Laurent, who befriends a gay teenage boy from the suburbs. His friends and the boy's parents struggle to come to terms with the relationship. Notable for dealing with members of Montreal's marginalized gay and artistic communities, this film is an exploration of age difference in a homosexual relationship in a very personalized way.
