SFBG: "A look at the man, the movie, the myth, the martyr -- and the modern legacy of Harvey Milk"
"It took Hollywood 30 years to make a feature film about the life of Harvey Milk, and when Gus Van Sant finally got the gig, and Sean Penn agreed to play the title role, it came out too late to have an impact on the California election.
