"I realise you're in a difficult place in between closets."
"We communicate mainly by rumour."
Herb Gardner wrote a slightly Neil Simon-ish play then a screenplay called A THOUSAND CLOWNS (Fred Coe was mainly a TV producer) in which our misfit hero is forced to conform to save nephew.
Fab cast: Jason Robards, Barbara Harris, Martin Balsam (AA), Gene Saks, William Daniels and Barry Gordon as the kid.
Much use of wide angles, zoom and interesting cutting gives it a French New Wave feel.
