Heaven's a Drag Movie Review 1994

Low-budget British cross between a tearjerker and a supernatural comedy. HIV-positive London drag performer Mark (Williams) lives with Simon (Arklie), a TV repairman who keeps his sexuality a secret from his co-workers and his emotional distance from his stricken lover. When Mark dies, Simon is quick to get on with his life--too quick for Mark, who's ghostly presence puts a damper on Simon's dating possibilities and brings up some old resentments.
