Sam Green
After the film opened, Baekeland's former lover, Samuel Adams Green (played by Dancy in the film), wrote an article pointing out elements in the film possibly misleading for those trying to reach back to the reality inspiring it. Referring to the ménage à trois scene of Barbara, Antony, and Sam having sex, he wrote:
It is true that almost 40 years ago I did have an affair with Barbara, but I certainly never slept with her son...Nor am I bisexual. ... She started telling people she had had an incestuous relationship with her son as a way of "curing" him of homosexuality... But I don't believe she had sex with Tony. I think she simply enjoyed shocking people.Green then took legal action against the film makers, which was still unresolved at the time of his death.
