100 Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection is a documentary focusing on a unique, moving, and joy-filled collection of vintage photographs of men in love from the 1850s to the 1950s. Taken when male partnerships were often illegal, the photos were found at flea markets, in shoe boxes, family archives, estate sales, and old suitcases. Directed by Emmy-winning actor-producer David Millbern, and with spoken words from curators Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell, 100 Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection showcases the beauty of everlasting and universal love.

Too many docs today are simply manipulated to tell the stories the filmmakers wish to tell. This one allows the subjects to exist as enigmas and the viewer to try and create their own versions of who these guys were.

For an hour, this beautiful documentary celebrates a history of the love that dared not speak its name, and it does so with eloquence and charm, attitude and gratitude.

It was a fine, small documentary. Those that voted it zero stars clearly did not actually watch the movie, and are bigots. RT needs to do something to stop the reactionary reviewing of movies with themes like this.

It’s happened for 100 years? Yes, it did. Is it a small minority or even biological disorder? Yes.
