    Well last night I queued up the VCR to tape "An Early Frost" with the
remote control so I could view it again sans commercials. I personally
thought that the movie handled the subject pretty well, complete with
some pretty intense emotions. I know that some will think that the movie
was condescending but I feel that it captured a pretty real picture of
what the victims and their loved ones go through. I'm glad that they
didn't kill of Michael in the film. The ending left me feeling that he
had resolved himself with his parents and that his s.o. would stand by him.
The producers seemed to have done their homework on this one. It wasn't a
very happy story and left me a little unsettled afterwards, but a well made
movie just the same.
    
    The Life and Times of Harvey Milk will be airing in Boston this Wed-
nesday on PBS Channel 2 at 9pm. for those of you wh might not be aware.
