A NEW movie about Brendan Behan has sparked a row in the US, because it portrays the hard-drinking writer as bisexual ..and shows him kissing a sailor.
Critics claim an Irish-made movie - Borstal Boy - about the 18 months Behan spent in an English reform school in the 1940s contains more fiction than anything he ever managed to write.
One scene has Dublin-born Behan, played by US actor Shawn Hatosy, kissing a sailor, while another shows him embarking on an improbable romance with the borstal governor's daughter.
