A few questions
The was movie mostly in flashback.
Was the story mostly taking place during '45/'46 school year?
How old is Mrs Reynolds supposed to be?
Was she widow or not in the play?
How many years has her first husband been dead?
Would the slang or bullying term to slur Sister-Boy have been in common use in 1945 or 1946?
Were either the housemaster or Mr. Lee supposed to be gay?
What did Tom want to do as a career in play any different being folk singer?
Was he just supposed to be a quite bullied loner who was really liked girls and was shy or was he as gay and got married because it was the thing to do? I think he was probably straight.
