One of my favorite movies is The Great Escape. If you are a movie lover and haven't seen this one, put it on your short list, because it's one of the best guy movies ever. Anyway, if you've seen it, I have a question.

I've always wondered about the relationship of strong man Danny (Charles Bronson) and the more diminutive Willy (John Leyton). They clearly are best mates, but my friend (and ex-wife) thinks there's no question that they are lovers. I'm not so sure. Given today's sensibilities, their interactions seem to be deeper, more emotional, more angsty than the usual depiction of a couple of male friends in a movie. The movie was made in 1963, though, and I don't think the audience of that time would have assumed they were in a gay relationship. What do y'all think?
