"A Different Story" (1978) ~ A Tribute To The Film Starring Perry King & Meg Foster in Gay Romance

This gay/lesbian themed love story was released in 1978 and was one of the first Hollywood pictures to tackle the very controversial topic of homosexuality and lesbianism. The film comes from a time before AIDS and the internet, where discos and gay bath houses were the most popular places to meet and greet. The film stars Perry King ("Mandingo", Riptide", "Lords of Flatbush") and blue-eyed Meg Foster ("Cagney & Lacey", The Stepfather 2", "Masters of the Universe") as Albert; a gay man, and Stella; a lesbian, who decide to live together when his famous composer lover ditches him for another man. To help keep him from being deported, Stella marries Albert. It's strictly platonic until one druken night turns into a one night affair. Soon the two fall in love, have a child and face Albert's infidelities. Although the film has its fans, many in the gay and lesbian community were (and still are) against the film stating that it conveniently takes two gay character's and turns them straight. The film is merely pointing out that love can happen between two people. The screenplay is written in a way that to the characters, the fact they are gay does not matter. This is simply two people (characters) in a world of miliions and millions of people and this is their story. This is indeed "A Diferent Story" and although somewhat dated, it's a film that everyone who enjoys a good love story, should see. Perry King fans here is your opportunity to see Perry King's naked ass in a nude shower scene (part of which is included here). Richard Bull (Mr. Olsen from "Little House on the Prarie" appears as Foster's father).Great music from Bob Wahler.
