What do speedo lovers fear the most (aged)

"American artist Don Bachardy still lives in Isherwood's California home and also had a cameo part in the movie as a fellow professor.
He is a portrait artist however and I am sure your reference to nude young guys in pools in California means the English artist David Hockney."

Oh dear - I'm starting to get "senior" moments where I confuse writers and painters. You're right, it was David Hockney I was thinking of.

You don't hear about the Isherwood generation so much anymore, I wonder how many young guys know of him or have read him.

He was one of the few "together" out, gay men writing years ago.

I don't want to discourage anyone from seeing "A Single Man." It's not bad going on its own terms but doesn't measure up to Isherwood writing.

The film plays a bit like a gay early 60's drama filmed with "Mad Men" period correct sets and the same slow pacing.

There's some great scene with Julianne Moore that breathe some life into the picture.
