970 Dress Gray
First viewed : 18 December 1990
This US mini-series took four years to come to the UK and then it was stuck on late on ITV after the ten o clock news. It wasn't hard to see why. Adapted by Gore Vidal from a novel by Lucian Truscott and concerns homosexual shenanigans at a prestigious military academy.
Alec Baldwin played Ry Slaight, a straight cadet who falls out with his girlfriend's gay brother David Hand ( Patrick Cassidy ) and then becomes chief suspect when he is found raped and murdered. He comes into conflict with General Hedges ( Hal Holbrook ) who is more concerned about keeping a lid on scandal than seeing justice done and Ry ends up before the Honour Court on a false charge. While not being too explicit, there was plenty of sweaty male flesh on display throughout the series.
