An Englishman in New York
Event Happens: Oct 10, 2009 (08:45 PM)
Directed by Richard Laxton United Kingdom / 2009 / 74 min / DVD / English In 1975, at the age of 66, openly Gay writer Quentin Crisp has given up on finding fame and so it comes as rather a surprise when the British TV film 'The Naked Civil Servant', which is about his life so far, makes him a celebrity overnight. Refusing to return to anonymity and following an invitation to New York, Quentin finds himself in a country where he is welcomed with open arms and becomes the toast of New York society and a fixture on the Champagne and peanuts circuit. But, all is not perfect in an ever changing world.
