Queer Commons: Maurice
An impossibly young Hugh Grant plays the Pompatous of Love in this 1987 Merchant Ivory adaptation of Steve Miller’s AM-dial classic “The Joker,” about a picker and a grinner named Maurice (James Wilby) who wants to joke and smoke with his beloved midnight toker Scudder (Rupert Graves). If you love shirtless gay British men artfully repressing their true feelings all over the place, whoo boy is this a lip-biter you’re gonna love!
