As Is

As Is (1986)

Story of a homosexual man who finds out he has AIDS and how people react. Ex-lovers are brought together when the former is stricken with AIDS. Often humorous and never morose, author William Hoffman doesn't pull his punches with either his portrayal of a gay lifestyle or of the emotional toll the disease takes.

Production notes

William Hoffman, who wrote both the movie script and stage play, said the film was toned down from the stage version, mainly in its language. Executive producer Michael Brandman said he didn't want to "muddy the water with gratuitous profanity. We did keep some of the language, but I think it is highlighted more effectively because it's used more sparingly.
