Dennis Quaid, the Quaid brother who didn't go on the run from the police while claiming that Hollywood assassins were coming to get him, has worked solidly in Hollywood for the past thirty years. In real life he was married to Kimberly Buffington until 2018, but in 2002 he appeared in cinemas as Frank Whitaker in 2002's 'Far from Heaven'; a married man who's living a life of repressed homosexuality.
It's a dark film, set in a time when homosexuality was a criminal offense, and men like Quaid's character sought out sham marriages to keep suspicion away from themselves. Unable to come to terms with who he really is, the character seeks out alcohol and prostitutes to numb the pain, which ends about as well as you suspect it would. The movie is an allegory for the general conditions that existed in 1950s America, and also boasts a stellar performance from Julianne Moore.
