Released in 1980, Squeeze is a notable film directed by Richard Turner, running about 79 minutes. “Grant has two loves in his life, his fiancée and his boyfriend” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Richard Turner made Squeeze to break the "conspiracy of silence" about homosexuality. A pioneering early portrait of Auckland's LGBT scene, Squeeze centres on the relationship between a young man (Paul Eady) and the confident executive (Robert Shannon) who romances him, then mentions he has a fiancée. The film was discussed in Parliament after Patricia Bartlett campaigned against the possibility it might get NZ Film Commission funding (it didn't). Kevin Thomas in The LA Times praised Squeeze's integrity and the "steadfast compassion with which it views its hero".

Who’s in it. Squeeze stars Donna Akersten, Paul Eady, Don Farr and Faye Flegg, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 1.0/10, Squeeze has proved divisive with audiences.
