[net.motss] "The Mysterious Stranger" -- a PBS special

gerber@mit-athena.ARPA (Andrew S Gerber) (12/27/84)

I may get yelled at, 'cause this has VERY LITTLE to do with gay
issues/people, but here goes:

About two years ago, I had the fortune to see on PBS tv here in NJ (13
from NYC), an adaptation for TV of Mark Twain's story "The Mysterious
Stranger", with Chris Makepeace and Lance Kerwin as the two male leads.
These two actors are both in their late teens, and both VERY cute. (at
least in my book - I tend to have a thing for guys around my own age,
which is 19).  In the TV special, the two actors have  such a close
relationship, it borders on the, well ... gay?

What I am wondering, has anyone else seen this program and gotten the
same sort of reaction I had from it?  Even without this particular idea,
this was a @u(very well done) piece of television, even though the Times
(NY) sort of panned it, everytime I see it again I am impressed with its
quality, and the impression that it leaves on me at the end.  I'd
appreciate any/all reaction, either here, on MOTSS, or to my personal
mailbox at Athena.
