Review

An odious cop comedy with a "fag" angle, and considered by many to be one of the most offensive gay-themed films ever made, but not by all. Ryan O'Neal plays a straight detective who teams up with effeminate, in-the-closet desk cop John Hurt to go undercover as gay lovers to investigate a gay serial killer. Told to "live in their neighborhood, eat in their restaurants and shop in their stores," the film begins to indulge itself with every conceivable homophobic stereotype. Dressed entirely in pink and lilac, Hurt is seen as a scared, helpless femme while O'Neal is the leather-clad man. Watch it and wince!

FINALLY!!! At Last On DVD.

Conner wrote on 06/24/2008:

They have finally released "Partners" on DVD, "On Happy Day"!!! I really mean that.

This movie is a "MUST", for all gay movie collections. Ryan O'neal is at his best. As is John Hurt.

"Partners" is a laugh riot scream, from beginning to the end. "Also"......the movie is "SO" dated, "SO" Disco era! Thank God those days are behind us,( I'm not referring to the great music & dancing, of the period). I'm meerly referring to the horrible clothes & hair styles. As the old Queen, in the film, says to both Ryan & John, when they go under cover, and have to rent the apartment in his/her building; "Hold on tight, just hold on tight:"! Well we all did, and most of us survived the seventies, and early eighties.

Getting back to the film, it's pure seventies "gay camp", all the way through.

Definitely "5 Stars" in my book. You have to see it, in order to enjoy it! (By the way, Ryan O'Neal, in his young days, was white hot sexy! Wait till you see him in the poured in blue jeans....'YOWZER"!!!

Now, if they would "only" release; "Boys In The Band" on DVD. Which is another pure early Gay Gem.
