"the tender exchange between David and Jack in "Wings," (1927). The men were straight, the characters they played were straight, and the plot was straight--and David was dying! Yet, somehow, in those days before the Hayes Code, the tenderness between these two World War 1 flyers became--the hottest scene in the whole film"
Even though they were straight the chracters who obviously had plutonic love for one another shared a kiss and it was completely innocent. I don't think there was anything homoerotic or 'gay' about that kiss. If you were dying too and your BEST friend was right there, one of the only things you can do is to show a form of affection for that person as they part this world knowing they were loved in any manner wether gay, straight, whatever.
I think this film is very educational and well put together.
It's also sad that Television has had so much more success as far as gay characters go than mainstream cinema today.
