I haven't seen the movie, but I was wondering if you know anything about the author of the book. I think that she also wrote Shipping News or something like that. Maybe someone will correct me. Anyway, then I heard that Larry McMurtry (?)(Man, I'm bad with names.) who wrote Lonesome Dove asked her if he could write the screenplay. She was dubious b/c she didn't like the movie version of SN. But, apparently, McMurtry is a better screenwriter.
Was the homosexual relationship the main focus of the movie?
