| There are gay guys dancing which Al Jolson makes a remark about in, "Wonder Bar"; but that film, reasonably enjoyable for most of it, has one of the most offensive blackface sequences imaginable, using some outrageous stereotypes. There's also a "Call Her Savage" with "It Girl" Clara Bow in one of her sound films, where she and an escort go into a clearly gay bar. There's also something unofficially, but still a gay sensibility, in much of the roles and work of both Edward Everett Horton and Franklin Pangborn, who show up in numerous films in the classic era. |
