The Boys in the Band is a 1970 American drama film directed by William Friedkin from a screenplay by Mart Crowley (who also produced), based on Crowley's 1968 play. The ensemble cast, all of whom also played the roles in the play's initial Off-Broadway run, includes Kenneth Nelson, Peter White, Leonard Frey, Cliff Gorman, Frederick Combs, Laurence Luckinbill, Keith Prentice, Robert La Tourneaux, and Reuben Greene. The film is among the early major American motion pictures to revolve around gay characters, often cited as a milestone in the history of gay cinema, and thought to be the first mainstream American film to use the swear word "cunt". It was released in the United States by National General Pictures on March 18, 1970.
