In 2004, I saw a movie that would occupy my thoughts for the next 20 years. It was called Straight Jacket, and it asked what would happen if Rock Hudson's life story was told as though it was a Rock Hudson film. I thought Straight Jacket was destined to become a queer camp classic, but instead it just ... vanished. And for two decades I wondered why -- but now we finally have some answers. This is the story of Straight Jacket: the struggle to get it made, why it mysteriously vanished, and how a mid-century gay romance is poised for a triumphant return.
