In his readings of film favourites, Alexander Doty takes the reader
to the queer side of criticism, offering fresh and controversial
views of the stars, the plots, and the directors of our best loved
and most iconic films. Arguing against the assumption that only
explicitly gay films are subject to gay readings, he looks at six
classics and reads them for their queer potential. With both
affection and scholarly rigor, he teases out the lesbian fantasy
inherent in "The Wizard of Oz", the gay nightmare narrative of "The
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", the bisexual erotics of "Gentleman Prefer
Blondes", the queerness of Norman Bates, and even makes a
compelling argument about Citizen Kane's dying word, "Rosebud".
