| The Lost Weekend | 1945 | Wilder, BillyBilly Wilder | United States | Film-noir, drama | Although Billy Wilder's adaptation hews closely to Charles R. Jackson's novel, the novel differed in one respect: Birnam, played by Ray Milland in the movie, is described in the novel as being tormented by a homosexual incident in college. That is omitted from the film. |

| Words and Music | 1948 | Taurog, NormanNorman Taurog | United States | Musical, biography | To say this is a "whitewashed" version of the famous song-writing team Rodgers and Hart is a gross understatement. Lorenz Hart (1895–1943) was a homosexual in an era when such was flatly unacceptable; the pressures of the closet drove him into a wildly self-destructive alcoholism that ultimately killed him. There was no way on earth that 1940s Hollywood could approach these facts. |
