Last Call at Maud's (1993 film)

Last Call at Maud’s is a 1993 American documentary which explores the history of gay women's culture from the 1940s to the 1990s as it records the last evening of Maud's, a San Francisco lesbian bar which closed in 1989 after 23 years in business.[1]

The film, directed by Paris Poirier, combines vintage footage with interviews with Maud's owner, Rikki Streicher, its employees, and patrons, including Judy Grahn, Sally Gearhart, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon.[2][3][4][5]
