I saw "Bent" as a play in 1980, from the second row of a very small theatre. Not surprising I still remember it vividly. Haven't seen the film though - that may have been deliberate, since my memories of the play were so strong.
Did you know Viggo acted in Bent on some small stage in LA, and made a very big impression in his relatively minor role as the SS guard at the end? (*shudder* I can just imagine.)
I'm with you in being bemused at how different my tolerance for the romance pattern is in het and in slash. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that in slash, they aren't automatically tied into the alpha male and beta female gender roles. There's more of a possibility of equality, or of switch-at-whim.
