When Hollywood ‘Went Gay All of a Sudden': TCM Highlights Films That Track Queer Evolution
In classic film circles, 'Bringing Up Baby' is just one of those movies that everybody knows about. It's Cary Grant. It's Katharine Hepburn. It's Howard Hawks. All 'Old Hollywood For Dummies' buzz words. But the movie — a notorious flop upon release — is a historical curiosity not because it is a cute, zany screwball comedy of a bygone era — though it is. 'Bringing Up Baby' just happens to have what is likely first usage in film of the word 'gay' to mean something other than happy. At least we think it does. 'My understanding is that by the time 'Bringing Up Baby' came out, the word 'gay' was known in some circles to mean homosexual,' TCM host Dave Karger said during a recent interview with IndieWire. 'And the story goes that Cary Grant ad libbed that line. So, I would like to think that he that Cary Grant knew what he was saying when he allegedly came up with that line.' More from IndieWire Apple TV+ Signs First-Look Film Deal with North Road's Chernin Entertainment 'You Kind of Have to Fight for More Room': Melissa Barrera Says Diverse Casting Has Net Effect on Productions Author Alonso Duralde, author of the book 'Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film' agrees. 'I know that when I wrote about 'Bringing Up Baby,' I quoted William Mann in his film 'Behind the Screen,' who said back in 2001 that the word 'gay' to mean 'homosexual' had been floating around for at least the better part of a century at that point,' Duralde said. 'And he, in turn, quotes Gary Schmidgall, who was a biographer of Walt Whitman, who said that there were cases of people using it that way in the first years of the 20th century.' Duralde explained that its use would have been 'very intramural' in the '30s. That perhaps Cary Grant knew about it, 'but it was not something that the wide world knew about just yet,' adding, 'You have to wonder… was that a wink?' Truly, it is difficult to interpret the word as meaning anything another than a wink in this instance, although it clearly flew over the heads of the censors — and likely anywhere except specific circles in the coastal cities — way back in 1938. Grant is wearing Hepburn's frilly robe. He's frustrated at his own flamboyant appearance, badgered by May Robson, and then exclaims, 'I just went gay all of a sudden!' Take a quick watch (the exchange begins at 1:43). This is about as openly 'gay' as the movies would get for the next 30 years. Not that there weren't plenty of films that walked a tight rope around the suggestion of homosexuality. Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rebecca' has the sinister Mrs. Danvers, whose obsession with the title character appears to be romantic in nature. There's a seemingly blatant hitman gay couple in 'The Big Combo.' A rather disturbing Wendell Corey acts possessively of his mobster roommate in 'Desert Fury.' Sal Mineo — a real-life bisexual — appears to be in love with James Dean in 'Rebel Without a Cause.' One commonality between all of these characters is that they (spoiler) die — perhaps the only reason why the strict production code of the time allowed them to make it to the screen. A note on the production code — known commonly as the Hays Code after its longtime leader Will H. Hays — for those new to Old Hollywood. In 1934, as fears of government censorship were looming, American film studios began enforcing a strict production code (drafted in 1930) that essentially outlawed the depiction of a host of perceived moral wrongs and ambiguities — any crime had to have a consequence, overt sex was out of the question, dialogue had to be squeaky clean, and, of course, queers weren't supposed to exist. Regardless, some coded characters (as listed above) and certain gay stereotypes made it into the movies, even under censorship. Of course, the characters were not out, open, or doing anything about it, but it was clear to knowing eyes what exactly was going on. One specific stereotype was the 'pansy' — also known as the 'sissy' — which Turner Classic Movies will be highlighting in on Monday, June 23, with a series of films that showcase variations on this kind of character. 'The pansy craze really exploded in the 1930s,' Karger explained. 'It started in live entertainment, where there were bars in Hollywood that stars and studio executives would frequent, and there were well known drag performers who were very popular amongst the Hollywood set. What you also saw in varying degrees before and after the production code was enforced, were queer coded, open, outwardly gay characters in some films.' Actors like Edward Everett Horton (see: 'The Gay Divorcee') and Franklin Pangborn (see: 'Professional Sweetheart') made careers off of playing the pansy. 'What I love about these movies is that it gives wonderful platforms for some of these fascinating and hilarious character actors of the era,' Karger said. 'The thing about the sissy is that you're not saying this guy wants to have sex with dudes,' Durlade said. 'You're just saying, 'Oh, look at this frilly little whatever.' That character goes all the way back to the earliest cinema. That character goes back probably to vaudeville. The sissy was a way to get around the censor, precisely because they were asexual, and so they didn't have to wade into the murky things of perversion, because there was nothing sexual about the character. He was just there to be the butt of the joke.' TCM will also showcase interesting rarities like the pre-code 'Call Her Savage' with Clara Bow, which present the pansy in a far more overt fashion. This one wouldn't have had to slip in under the censors' noses, since it was released in 1932 before the code was in rigid enforcement. '['Call Her Savage'] features one scene in what is clearly a gay bar, and there's these two boys wearing French maids outfits, flitting around, and singing about how they wish they were on a navy ship surrounded by hunky sailors, essentially,' Karger said. 'And it's just so fascinating to see these two kids, almost 100 years ago, able to be their true selves and talk about their true wants and desires.' The lineup also includes Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche-led 'Midnight,' a delightful '30s 'Cinderella' tale that finds John Barrymore playing the fairy godmother. None of those leads are the 'gay' character. That instead belongs to veteran character actor Rex O'Malley — who in real life, uh… never married — who plays a gossipy friend, aka the pansy. 'There's just all these great scenes of him, sitting around a breakfast table, pumping all the other characters for the latest gossip. And it's just so fun,' Karger said. 'He steals every scene he's in. And yeah, of course, nothing overtly gay is mentioned. We're not told he's gay. They can't use that word in that context, of course, at that point. So he's essentially — like a lot of these men are — an asexual guy who's much more interested in the lives and going ons of everyone else than he is about pursuing a romantic life of his own.' Next week, on June 30, TCM will once again visit queer cinema, contrasting with a series of later films — ones that examine depictions of homosexuality, drag culture, and trans people in more recent decades. 'I love the fact that we have these two nights of pride programming, one of which is from the 1930s and then the other of which is from the last 40 years. So we get to see how LGBTQ+ cinema has has evolved,' Karger shared. Among the movies included on the second night are 2008's Oscar-winning 'Milk' (a TCM premiere), the 1994 lesbian-themed dramedy 'Go Fish,' and 1990's 'Without You I'm Nothing,' written by and starring Sandra Bernhard. 'I'm all for the bread and butter films that we show on TCM. I love that. That's what we mainly do. But I think whenever we can step out of the usual 'classic era' and include movies like the ones that we're doing on that second Pride night, particularly for for Pride Month, I think it's really exciting,' Karger said. As for the word 'gay,' the 'Bringing Up Baby' use of the word did not revolutionize its use in modern culture. In 1961, 23 years later, Natalie Wood was still singing (well, Marni Nixon was) about feeling 'pretty, witty, and gay' in 'West Side Story.' But like so many cultural touchstones in American history, the 1960s changed things. Civil Rights, hippies, the second wave of feminism, and then, of course, 1969 Stonewall Riots setting off the gay liberation movement, shifted culture. By 1970, 'The Boys in the Band' was throwing 'gay' around in clear reference to homosexuality. Ironically, Wood herself helped launch the play that became that film adaptation. But, I digress. What's most interesting looking at TCM's June 23 and 30 lineups is that, while coded, the stereotypes remained the same for many decades, even after the production code had fallen — and in the more modern films, the through-line is evident. The movies did not go 'gay all of a sudden' when Cary Grant made his exclamation in 'Bringing Up Baby,' but perhaps instead this little moment set a standard of gayness that would largely hold for the rest of the century and beyond.

A24 Greenlights Kane Parsons' ‘The Backrooms,' with Chiwetel Ejiofor to Star
'The Backrooms,' the viral YouTube horror series that has amassed nearly 200 million views since debuting in 2022, is officially becoming a feature film. A24 has greenlit a movie based on the property directed by 19-year-old series creator Kane Parsons, who will be the youngest director in A24 history when the film enters production this summer. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve will star in 'The Backrooms,' which is a co-production between A24 and Chernin Entertainment. James Wan and Shawn Levy will executive produce through their Atomic Monster and 21 Laps banners, respectively. Roberto Patino is also a producer. Chernin Entertainment, part of The North Road Company, will co-finance alongside A24. More from IndieWire Vicky Krieps Is Possessed by Her Dead Wife in Trailer for Psychological Drama 'Went Up the Hill' Mel Brooks to Return to 'Spaceballs' Sequel as Yogurt While plot details for the film have been kept under wraps, the YouTube series used the found-footage format to gradually build a horror universe about liminal spaces that exist in our world without fully conforming to our reality. The slow builds and homemade special effects helped the eerie videos build a loyal following. A24's feature take on 'The Backrooms,' which was first announced in 2023, has been cited as one of Hollywood's most significant investments in intellectual property that emerged from the internet. In Vol. 005 of the In Development newsletter from IndieWire's Future of Filmmaking, editor-in-chief Dana Harris-Bridson argued that Parsons represents the new archetype for indie film success in the 2020s. 'This sounds like a 21st-century riff on the Sundance wunderkind, but A24 didn't buy a short from a promising high school filmmaker. It bought an ecosystem,' she wrote of his success. 'Scalable IP, with a built-in fanbase. Proof of engagement. Potential for merch, spin-offs, and platform-native storytelling. It's a lot less romantic than the '90s story, in which credit-card debt is burned away by a life-altering festival premiere that sends buyers huddling in the lobby to craft eight-figure offers. However, we can't believe in that folktale if we also believe in the internet. Thirty years ago, a rapturous reception was the only tool distributors had to project future results. In reality, the digital revolution in filmmaking happened at the same time as all the other digital revolutions. Today, no one relies on analog instinct for pretty much the same reason that you don't have a landline.'No release date for 'The Backrooms' has been announced.

‘You Kind of Have to Fight for More Room': Melissa Barrera Says Diverse Casting Has Net Effect on Productions
Melissa Barrera is aware that her career has made her something of a 'genre actress' — but while she has no intention of running away from her film roots, she is always looking to expand her career horizons. After a starring role in the series 'Vida,' Barrera came to theatrical prominence in 2021's high-profile 'In the Heights' (a musical) and two 'Scream' sequels (decidedly horror) in 2022 and 2023. She then doubled-down on horror with last year's well-received 'Abigail' and the indie 'Your Monster.' 'I love horror. It's super fun. And there's so many great horror scripts,' Barrera said on 'The Seeds' podcast, praising horror directors as some of the biggest 'risk takers' in the industry. But she added that she wanted to 'stretch' as an actress. 'I also have never liked putting myself in a box of any kind, and I know that I have a lot of other skills that… I want to showcase, and I want to like play with. So, I feel like I would get bored — I do get bored easily if I'm doing the same thing or the same genre.' More from IndieWire Apple TV+ Signs First-Look Film Deal with North Road's Chernin Entertainment When Hollywood 'Went Gay All of a Sudden': TCM Highlights Films That Track Queer Evolution As a Latina actress, Barrera said she has had to work harder to get considered for certain roles throughout her career. 'You kind of have to fight for more room,' she explained. 'People [are] not necessarily looking for people that look like you for a role, but you got to kind of try and… knock on the door and be like, 'Hey, I know you're not looking for me. But like, maybe, would you mind? I'll just do it, and if you like it, maybe.'' Barrera said that there is a net effect anytime a Latino performer is added to a production's cast that benefits more than just a single actor. She used the casting of the fifth 'Scream' installment as an example. 'The big reason that I wanted to get that role so badly was because I knew that this character was going to have a family, and that if I got the role, then that meant more opportunities for other Latinos in the other roles. So that's kind of thing that you think about,' she explained. Barrera will next be seen alongside Simu Lui in the Peacock series 'The Copenhagen Test,' bringing her into a new genre: espionage action thriller. A release date has yet to be announced, though a trailer was shown at the NBCU upfronts last month.
