16th July 2007. Write it down.
That is the day British film thriller The Fruit Machine will be released by Network on DVD format for the very first time.
This original, harrowing and powerful movie has been described as one of the best gay films ever made anywhere, but this one happens to be British. It stars Emile Charles, little brother of Red Dwarf star Craig Charles.
Directed by BAFTA-winner Philip Saville (The Life and Loves of a She-Devil), The Fruit Machine tells the story of two adventurous gay teens who go on the run from the bleak and dismal reality of 1980?s Liverpool, only to find themselves in the strange and fantastical world of transvestite nightclub The Fruit Machine.
