This was a topic at the table this a.m. with a declaration that the revelation that one of the major actors in this film was openly homosexual meant that the movie was tainted beyond redemption and provided justification for refusing to see it.  That this decision was made by the producers of the movie without knowing the lifestyle of the actor, as explained here, carried little weight. The testimony of those who had seen the movie, to the effect that it was the story beautifully told of real people who gave their lives for what they believed in, that the actors faithfully portrayed these characters without portraying their own lifestyle preferences (I cannot help but wonder what a moral inventory of every actor who appeared in the film would look like), seemed to count for little for those who were concerned about the lifestyle of one of the leading actors.  Others have expressed their disappointment here and additional opinions here.

I am glad I saw the film before this story broke.  And I rest assured that the beautiful story, wonderfully told on film, is the fruit of what was accomplished by real people  portrayed faithfully by the actors chosen to play the parts.  It is the real people involved in the original drama that gives this film its power and, as such, I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
