That Certain Summer (1972), Part 5

That Certain Summer, TV movie 1972.

Starring: Hal Holbrook, Martin Sheen, Scott Jacoby, Hope Lange, Joe Don Baker.


Divorced San Francisco contractor Doug Salter is looking forward to a summer visit from his 14-year-old son Nick, who lives in Los Angeles with his mother Janet. What the boy doesn't know is that his father is gay and committed to Gary McClain, his life partner of several years, who opts to move out temporarily in order to keep Nick's possible suspicions at bay. When he finds evidence of his father's secret life, the teen - filled with shame and disgust - runs away. Once reunited with his son, Doug attempts to explain his sexual orientation to him, with decidedly mixed results.
