This movie was a very gentle and tasteful illustration of a child's early interest in --and awareness of-- sexuality. Unspoiled by the mores and norms of his culture, little Steven Gale observes with innocent but worried curiosity some of the kinkier details of adult life in mid 20th century America. At a time when sexuality was publicly repressed, he glimpses it even in Dotty, his TV comedienne heroine and role model.
This material could have been handled very poorly in the hands of a less sensitive or apt director, but Todd Haynes' interpreted his own script with class and humor. Watch IFC's or Bravo's listings for showings of this little gem.
