| Filmcritic.comDon Willmottsomething rather different and much more interesting than a "gang terrorizes town" flick |
| User ReviewEmily BA classic kitchen sink drama, though not as well known as similar films of the period. The Leather Boys tells the story of two people who marry too young, and discoverer they don't really know each other. As the couple begin to drift apart, Reggie turns to his pal and begins to find out who he really is. Features great acting from the 3 leads (Campbell, Tushingham and Sutton), and was ahead of it's time due to the fact it features homosexuality. Overall if you like films from this period this is a must see. |

| User ReviewLee Man interesting movie with great acting. The end scene is sad (where Reggie discovers Pete is gay.) This movie only uses the word "queer" once because in the sixties apparently being gay was a big "NO". This is a must-see just for the taboo matter of this film! |
