The Leather Boys
The frustrations of sexual conflict.
Directed by Sidney J. Furie
Produced by Raymond Stross Productions
A melancholic 1960s drama about a young man's identity crisis and emotional awakening within a failing marriage, marked by social constraint and unresolved longing.
Reggie and Dot are a young South London couple who get married before they really get to know each other. After the marriage, they quickly begin to drift apart. Dot seems content to pursue her own interests, until Reggie meets Pete, a fellow cyclist, and begins to explore his own identity.
