Tony Award-winning actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein re-creates his role as the unsikable Arnold Beckoff in this fim adaptation of the smash Broadway play TORCH SONG TRILOGY. A very personal story that is both funny and poignant, TORCH SONG TRILOGY chronicles a New Yorker's search for love, respect and tradition in a world that seems not especially made for him. From Arnold's hilarious steps toward domestic bliss with a reluctant school teacher (Brian Kerwin), to his first truly promising love affair with a young fashion model (Matthew Broderick), Arnold's greatest challenge remains his complicated relationship with his mother (Anne Bancroft). But armed with a keenly developed sense of humor and oftentimes piercing wit, Arnold continues to test the commonly accepted terms of endearment--and endurance--in a universally affection story that confrims that happiness is well worth carrying a torch for.
