Shot on-location inside the famous Continental Baths and featuring an unforgettable 12-minute scene of the actual entertainment, both musical and sensual alike, SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE BATHS is a sublime exam...ple of the compelling and sensual queer cinema of one of the most groundbreaking periods in gay and bisexual film history.
