1959 · Película
Released in 1959, South is a drama film directed by Mario Prizek, running about 80 minutes. “Peter Wyngarde stars in Britain’s earliest surviving gay TV drama.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. The earliest surviving gay-themed British TV drama, South stars Peter Wyngarde as Lt Jan Wicziewsky, who visits a southern plantation as the American Civil War looms. The arrival of Eric MacClure (Gould) forces Wicziewsky to face up to his darkest secret: his love for another man. Barely two years after the Wolfenden Report, homosexuality was still taboo – making Wyngarde’s impassioned performance all the more extraordinary.
