Pittsburgh, Pa.: Is the movie based on the book by T.C. Boyle, "The Inner Circle"?
Bill Condon: No, in fact I haven't yet read Boyle's book, although I'm going to be on a panel with him in about a month. So I'm looking forward to it. As I understand it, his focus is on the relationship between Kinsey and his research team, specifically centering on the open marriages that Kinsey promoted among the team, which plays only a small part in the film. I felt that as I did research, there are a lot of fascinating ways to approach the Kinsey story. For me the question was, who was this person who thought to do this extraordinary thing in an unlikely place and an unlikely time? I look forward to reading the Boyle book and also to seeing an exhaustive documentary that PBS is putting together that will air in February.

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex and, oh yeah, sex...., 3 December 2004

"We've got a couple of hours before dinner; time for a couple of sex surveys. Who wants to go first?"... Some of the humor is a bit obvious, such as picking John Lithgow to play Kinsey's pompous father, a fundamentalist preacher, in a performance that echoes the actor's similar role in FOOTLOOSE. [what I was thinking-] ...As a film, KINSEY is like good sex, a briefly satisfying mix of passion and amusement.
