Review of Boys Beware

Boys Beware (1962)
1/10
Sick and disturbing
10 July 2019
An anti-gay short. It makes it clear that gay men are mentally ill and prey on young guys. It "dramatizes" two stories. It's all narrated by some guy. Full of homophobia and misinformation. If it weren't so sick it could be funny. I realize back in 1961 that homosexuality was still considered a mental illness but that doesn't excuse this. Supposedly this is still being shown in certain countries in the deep south and that's just sad. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age people would actually take this seriously. I really feel bad for closeted kids who see this and believe it as being the truth.
