Michael Ontkean, Harry Hamlin & Kate Jackson were remarkable in this Movie👏🏻 A tale of Love & Acceptance & Reality..

Remember seeing this movie on HBO in the early 80s when I was about 13, and struggling with my own identity. It was a revelation to me, plus I had a big crush on Michael. I know Harry was the one everybody lusted after, but I was on team Michael.

A Cinematic Masterpiece. Thank you Michael Ontkean for accepting this role. You gave a groundbreaking performance. I cherish you as an Actor. You took the hurt and you took the pain. Now there is a door we all walk through because of your brilliant courageous work on this film. Bravo my Friend ! ....Joe Montemurro (Rochester New York) ❤

You saved my life, giving me hope that there were other gays and guys to look up to. Thank you

I knew I was gay when I was three! I am a gay Christain and Romantic White Man! I have never had a problem with being Gay! The 1982 Movie Making Love shows gay men in a Compassionate, Empathetic, Intelligent, Positive, and Sensitive light without foul, obscene language, or a gay man dying, being murdered, a victim, men in drag, nudity or violence! The 1982 song Making Love recorded and sung by Roberta Flack should have received the Academy Award for best original song from a motion picture!

What a great movie. Brilliant acting by all.

BRAVO.. THANK YOU STILL to ALL who helped create it. Bravo!

Have you got the whole interview? Its hard to get any Michael Ontkean interviews. It certainly didnt affect his career, he went on to do Twin Peaks and many good TV movies for the networks which at the time were very popular.

Making love is a fantastic movie . I am gay and most gay actors are so predicable. This movie with Harry Hamlin and Michael ontkean was great. Ryan r

Then why did he try and stop clips from the film appearing in the Doco film The Celluloid closet?

[gerardowmby]

You wouldn't be an actor?? Weirdest reason I ever heard for taking the role.

[peacebeyondpassion]

It ruined his and Harry's careers! Wasn't worth it.
