Expanding the world of Mart Crowley’s play, the movie breaks out of Michael's apartment to include scenes on the streets of Manhattan and in Julius, the oldest gay bars still operating in NYC, in addition to several flashback sequences.

The play, considered a seminal piece of queer storytelling in the 20th century, was first seen Off-Broadway in 1968. The Broadway production opened in May 2018 at the Booth Theatre, winning the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.
