Never understand why this movie is now so neglected. Came out the same year as that corny bit of tinsel, Cabaret, which got all the awards and launched the drippy Liza Minnelli. The Boyfriend was bright, brittle and awfully stylish, beautiful kids, nuanced character work and the angelic Twiggy. A shame this is not on DVD
