SEGMENT #1 -  "BEFORE NIGHT FALLS" is a new film about gay Cuban writer 
RENALDO ARENAS, and the Oscar buzz is already building.  It won the Grand 
Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival, the National Board of 
Review has named it one of the 10 Best Pictures of the Year, and its star 
Javier Bardem has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his breakthrough 
performance as Arenas.  This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE has a preview, and talks 
with director JULIAN SCHNABEL and actor JAVIER BARDEM about the film, the 
persecution of gays in Cuba and elsewhere, and the legacy of Renaldo Arenas .

SEGMENT #2 -  "TWO" I.D. by lesbian fumerist KATE CLINTON [:10]  +  Most 
people have never heard of him, but if you've ever seen an MGM musical from 
the 1940s or 50s, you've heard his work.  He was an openly-gay man in a time 
when it was less than fashionable, he was MGM's star musical arranger, and 
his name was CONRAD SALINGER.  This Way Out's STEVEN PALEY (with production 
assistance by CHRIS ALLEN) has the conclusion of a 2-part profile, with 
comments by ANDRÉ PREVIN, MICHAEL FEINSTEIN, CYD CHARISSE, DAVID RAKSIN, SAUL 
CHAPLIN and LEONARD GERSH, and music from "The Band Wagon", "Brigadoon", 
"Look for the Silver Lining", "Jumbo" and others [18:05] . . . . . . . . . .
