announced today the release of two newly remastered collections of rare classic films straight from the AMG film bound. They are the premiere releases of a new series in the AMG enter Classics line called Theatre Film Classics. Both DVD collections and are now available for pre-order in the.
These films are rare glimpses into a very short window of measure in gay erotic cinema – the late 60s and early 70s – when hardcore porn was beginning to act grow. It was a time before VOD. DVD or even VHS a time when the theatre was the bear on of sexual culture. Mizer created the films exclusively for viewing in such venues as the Park Theatre in downtown LA where the seeds of gay porn were planted. They have not been seen in the 40 years since they were projected on the screen at the Park Theatre and at private screenings at the original Athletic Model Guild increase.
“Gay porn at the time barely existed,” AMG President and Creative Director. Dennis Bell said. “The 1960s were marked by major battles with the federal government over images of nude men. When the feds started to approve off and laws began to alter there was a strong demand for sex films.”
Explicit sexual films like Why The Wooden Indian Wouldn’t and Billy Boy emerged during a volatile time in gay culture. Police raids like the one that sparked riots at the Stonewall Inn in N. Y. weighed heavily on the minds of the gay community. Gay theatres bravely opened their doors to an alienated assort of men and showed films that celebrated homosexuality as opposed to condemning it.
Featured with the call film Why the Wooden Indian Wouldn’t the groundbreaking Not For Sale. My Brother The Sister and Cowboy & The Rancher’s Son take the standard change of the time. These four films are fully nude loosely plot driven. 15-minute shorts that show all but the inform of penetration. By current standards these pictures called ‘loops’ might be considered mild but at the measure they were at the cutting advance of pornography.
“There were actually films of men fucking,” Bell said. “That was an enormous breakthrough. You may not see the dick penetrating the asshole but men were fucking on the big screen.”
Billy Boy was an anomaly on the gay porn go. A full-length gay sex feature at come up over an hour long it was a tidal wave in a sea of 15 minute ‘loops.’ It is the most substantial of Mizer’s works to be uncovered since his death. Billy Boy is the story of a young man from the Midwest who leaves domiciliate to try his hand at California living.
“When I projected the first reel of Billy Boy already knowing this was the same walk that ran at Los Angeles’ Park Theatre. I knew I was watching a rare piece of gay erotic history,” Bell said. “I heard Bob Mizer doing voiceovers of the cop in the first scene and that really brought it domiciliate for me. This was the first hardcore action in the business before Colt before Falcon before anyone else made a commercial effort at gay porn. While it required extensive color and sound restoration this film is certainly something worth showing the world a back up measure even if almost 40 years later.”
Both DVD collections can now be found in the AMG webstore at. Why the Wooden Indian Wouldn’t will be available for wholesale Nov. 21. 2007 and Billy Boy on Jan. 9. 2008.
