Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss was written and directed by Tommy O’Haver, starring Sean Hayes, Brad Rowe, and Meredith Scott Lynn. Coming out in ’98, it was a breakthrough performance for Hayes, who would on to star as Jack on Will & Grace. The film is punctuated with Billy’s fantasy sequences of himself and Gabriel in pastiches of romantic film scenes, like From Here to Eternity and the films of Fred Astaire. Several scenes in the movie are backed up by classic tunes sung by notable and lesser known divas; these are lip-synced by the same troupe of drag queens, which run throughout the film. This is the climactic scene where Billy is looking for Gabriel as we hear Petula Clark‘s Happy Heart. Watch.
