don't ever say "hecka" again. pretend you never said it.

I think you mean “admission,” not “omission”?

@3 Ah, yes, duh.

The film was a big hit on account of star power and storyline. It is too difficult to compare the thinking of 1940 audiences with 2018 audiences. Many people in 1940 did not even know what "gay" or homosexuality was. Issues as such were not even openly discussed like today. Also, one must remember that the actors were acting from directives which were not always in accord with their own personal thoughts and feelings. Some of the acting relied on what looked good, what felt right and how the director and studio perceived the image. Most of us in 2018 do not have the time to worry about which actors were gay or not in 1940. It is a matter of whether or not we like this individual. Stop declaring sexual orientation! You are spoiling the effects.

@5 spoiling which effects for whom, hon? I'm appreciating this effect right here.

Chase,
I viewed "My Favorite Wife" a few years ago on DVD. It's a terrific film. I worship Grant. He was an extraordinary actor. But @5 has a point. Never thought of it as a "Hecka Gay Film". While I knew at the time I viewed it, Grant & Randolph Scott were lovers (sporadic and Grant himself had a five wives), I never saw the "gay" element. But forgive me, I am straight male.

It's a great film whether one knows the subtleties or not.

I'll have to watch this film. I've only seen the more recent version with Doris Day.....annoying. I love Doris but for different reasons. I absolutely love CG. He makes me melt, and the idea that he was fully gay with RS is just too exciting.
