wrote:Upon its release, the film was a minor art hit, and was shown at several film festivals. However, shortly thereafter, Richard Carpenter viewed the film and became irate with the film's portrayal of his family, in particular because the film insinuated Richard was gay. [...] Richard Carpenter sued Haynes for failing to obtain the clearances and won. As a result of the lawsuit, all copies of the film were to have been recalled and destroyed. Numerous bootleg copies of the film survive and are available on various Internet sites such as YouTube
