Longtime Companion

Longtime Companion is a 1989 American romantic drama film directed by Norman René in his feature directorial debut, and starring Bruce Davison, Campbell Scott, Patrick Cassidy, and Mary-Louise Parker. The first wide-release theatrical film to deal with the subject of AIDS, it takes the title from the euphemism The New York Times used during the 1980s to describe the surviving same-sex partner of someone who had died of AIDS.
