This film looks at the 1950's muscle men's magazines and the representative industry that were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still underground homosexual community. Chief among the purveyors of this literature was Bob Mizer, who maintained a magazine and developed sexually inexplicit men's films for over 40 years.

This film looks at the 1950's muscle men's magazines and the representative industry that were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still underground homosexual community. Chief among the purveyors of this literature was Bob Mizer, who maintained a magazine and developed sexually inexplicit men's films for over 40 years. Aided by his mother, the two maintained a stable of not so innocent studs. At the end, the film moves into a court room drama as Mizer is tried for running a male-prostitute ring in the early 60's. Clips of Mizer's actual films starring individuals, such as Jack LaLanne and Joe Dallesandro, are included.

| User ReviewSteven DI LOVE this movie! An important part of Gay history. What would the world have been like if these photographers not pushed the envelope. |
| User ReviewJames DWoof! The vintage footage is more interesting then anything waxed and steroided today. |
| User ReviewSylvester KThis campy John Waters-que documentary-comedy is bound to satisfy many. It is also a story about resistance to censorship, entrepreneurship and individualism. |
| User ReviewLee MAn intriguing look into the history of AMG and the photographer responsible for these timeless erotic images of the male form. Very hot guys in very litte clothing, sometimes no clothing at all. Worth watching just for the eye-candy! |
| User ReviewMelissa PGoody mix of documentary and biopic. The biopic scenes are clearly done in an exaggerated 50's style. It's pretty entertaining. I particularly like the character of 'Red' during the courtroom scenes. The white guy who thinks he's black on "Trailer Park Boys" is in it and does this over-the-type 50's hipster lingo. Once again, I think it's intentional corniness. |
| User ReviewHieu NA pointed look into the undiscovered Hollywood. The seedy underbelly of 'those' magazines. |
| User ReviewPrincess SAn odd little piece of cinema, part-plotted, part documentary. Hot guys though. DAMN YOU MACCARTHY! |
