...damage-control squad will doubtless be joined by groups with well-honed sexual biases to apply to the problem. Some image-conscious gays may blanch at the sight of Older Woman Donnelly making a pass at a minor, which is what Hemingway is at the beginning of their four-year affair, and they are not going to care for Writer-Director Towne's deromanticized view of the romance either.
