Off the top of my head, for example, didn’t Lubitsch kick him off One Hour With You? I didn't mean it as a slam, since I like his work also. As to Visconti vs. Antonioni, you’re making a subjective, artistic judgment. I’m saying that bottom line considerations would rule (and I have no idea who was better box office without doing some research.) There must be a lot of counter-examples of people who were “gay” yet had long careers. Rock Hudson? [I’m putting “gay” in quotes as a futile protest against the subornation of this poor, formerly innocent word.]
