“Director Andrea Weiss skillfully intercuts
film extracts to develop a telling picture celebrating cinematic
British gay and lesbian images.” --“Film Choice”, The Independent (London)
“Entertaining, funny and incisive: a cheering
British partner for The Celluloid Closet. It’s Weiss’s
skilful cross-editing and effective timing which are most notable.”
--Time Out (London)
“A Bit of Scarlet is an imaginatively constructed,
painstakingly assembled and highly amusing montage of gay-themed
clichés and stereotypes from 60-odd years of British
cinema. A riotously funny and engaging documentary.” --Melbourne Film Festival
