In & Out (1997)

In the quaint town of Greenleaf, Indiana, high school English teacher Howard Brackett's world is turned upside down in a single, unforgettable night. Renowned Hollywood actor and local success story, Cameron Drake, wins his first Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of a gay soldier, a role he credits to Howard's influence. To the shock of everyone, including Howard himself, Cameron publicly outs his former teacher during his acceptance speech. With Hollywood's relentless media converging on Greenleaf, Howard struggles to dispel the swirling rumors, all while wrestling with his own identity. While he vehemently denies being gay, his life's details are scrutinized through the lens of stereotype - his meticulous nature, his love for music, poetry, dancing, and an inexplicable fondness for Barbra Streisand. Adding to the complexity, Howard is on the brink of marrying Emily Montgomery, a fellow teacher who has battled personal demons to prepare for their upcoming nuptials. Despite the chaos, Emily stands as a beacon of trust and support, unconcerned by the claims about Howard's sexual orientation. Yet, the tumultuous events and the relentless scrutiny make Howard question his own identity, a deep internal exploration further intensified by his interactions with Peter Malloy, an openly gay Hollywood reporter assigned to cover his story. As Howard grapples with the unfolding chaos, the specter of Cameron Drake looms large, potentially holding the key to restoring balance in Howard's life. In & Out is a captivating narrative of self-discovery, identity, and the whirlwind that can follow when those two aspects collide on a very public stage. It's a journey that explores the boundaries of societal norms and personal authenticity, set against the backdrop of a small town caught in the Hollywood spotlight.
