Always on Sunday

Four "women" enter a bar and create chaos. This spoof of Never on Sunday (1960) was the first film made by a group of gay men who frequented a Los Angeles gay bar, The Brownstone, for Sunday brunch. Rarely seen today, these films, made at a time when gay lives were universally portrayed as tragic, remain a unique affirmation of the pleasure and joy gay people take in their lives.
