171. (24 Aug) The Toilers and the Wayfarers (1997, Keith Froelich) 45



Considering the film centers around serious issues like post-coming out rejection, daddy issues and hustling, it's odd that The Toilers and the Wayfarers is cute where it should be gritty. The tone is detrimentally off considering much of the film is watching lower class gay men and a German immigrant struggling to make ends meet. Beautifully shot in black-and-white, this at least looks far more mature than the amateurish scripting and acting. Mala Noche, a probable influence, makes this look crummy. The score is one of the worst I've ever heard.
