"A legend is finally coming to DVD! Jack Weston stars as a Cleveland garbage collector hiding from the mob in a NYC gay bathhouse (with a fairly wild steam room) in this riotous farce adapted from Terrence McNally's Broadway hit. Treat Williams and Rita Moreno costar. And to answer your questions, we have heard that Boys in the Band is coming to DVD late in 2008."

TLA Video recently sent me this announcement. The release date is 1/8/2008. I've been wondering about this film for years. It will be a nice addition to my movie collection. Rita rules!

Terrific news - this has been high on my "want" list for a long time!

(Preview performances for a Broadway revival of the play just started this week, with Rosie Perez in the role that was originally written for Rita Moreno.)

I'm with you marty888. BTW, where are all the queer cinema gays? I feel like I'm the only old queen on this board. :-)

I've never heard of The Ritz, but that's great news about The Boys in the Band! I'll definitely be buying that, too bad it's not for another year.

This movie was way ahead of it's time- with a great cast.

I had the Laser Disc up until around 1999. Very funny. Still holds up.
