LGBTThemed Documentary of the Year | 2012
Since the play had a small budget, and the theater it was staged in did not have high ceilings, blown up photographs were used to approximate the effect of a Manhattan duplex (two story) apartment. The set designer clipped some magazine photographs which he liked, had them enlarged, and collaged together. Unbeknownst to him, one of the photographs was from the Manhattan apartment of Barbara Walters. Someone Walters knew saw the play on its opening night, and let her know that pictures of her apartment might have been used. She bought tickets and attended the play early in its run, and told the production team that the pictures were indeed of her apartment, and she was quite amused.
Additional bonus featurettes include "Dominick Dunne's Hollywood", about the Hollywood party and social scene in the 1950s and 1960s; "Malibu '65", regarding the 1960s never-ending beach party at Roddy McDowall's Malibu beach house; "Relationship Time with Dan Savage", concerning sexual monogamy and open relationships; and "A Perfect Match", about making Making the Boys (2011) and obtaining funding for the documentary. All of the featurettes run between three and four minutes in length.
Final film appearance of Dominick Dunne, a noted writer, and the Executive Producer of the original The Boys in the Band (1970).
According to the contract to make the original film, seen on screen in this documentary, the budget for "The Boys in the Band," was $1.25 million.
Other than the New York production of the play, there was also a West End, London, engagement, with most of the original New York cast, at Wyndham's Theatre, and two separate US national touring companies, one for the eastern United States, and one for the western United States.
