	Movies - Love! Valour! Compassion!

Love! Valour! Compassion! is a 1995 play by Terrence McNally following the summer of a group of gay men and their family and friends at a summer home in New York. It was directed in New York City by Joe Mantello. It was later made into a 1997 film which reprised the original cast, with the exception of a character played by Nathan Lane (who was busy with a role in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at the time). Seinfeld star Jason Alexander stepped in to play his role, a character named "Buzz".

Aside from changing marginal cultural references, the movie script made many other changes as well, making cuts throughout (like most film adaptations) and eliminating almost all direct addresses to the audience and the conclusion of one of the subplots. This remains the only theatrical film that Joe Mantello has directed.
