Skin Deep shower

Director: Lancer Brooks (Tom De Simone) (1982)

So last time we were discussing Skin Deep, it come up that there was a missing golden shower scene (thanks Stewart) which made sense since the writer Dawes was clearly talking about it – (“special showers with special aroma” and “wet me all over, make me take me your hot wet golden…” vrrrmmpf!) – and the odd quick cut mid sentence seemed off. But alas, it was located (thanks, Tyler!!) and the cut was still there, but cut TO a brief, 2 minutes of Ben Barker enjoying Michael Christopher’s hot wet golden

SKIN DEEP

SKIN DEEP – Director: Lancer Brooks (Tom De Simone) (1982) – 80 minutes running time

Starring: Michael Christopher & Johnny Dawes; plus: Chris Burns, Ben (Benjamin) Barker, Matt Michaels, and special appearance by Beau Matthews and Giorgio Canali

“This compelling story of a contemporary relationship confronts and questions some comfortable stereotypes. Johnny Dawes plays the author of pornographic novels who picks up a hustler, mainly for inspiration. But the hustler (Michael Christopher) turns out to be a thinking, feeling human being who challenges the writer’s preconceived ideas about sexual involvement.” – Bijou Video

In a spectacular conclusion, (the scene shown above) Dawes has sex with the hustler while imagining himself getting topped first by hustler Michaels, then by the other characters (fictional & not), Beau Matthews (rare for him!), Matt Michaels, Ben Barker, and Chris Burns. They surround him on the bed for the climax. (note: no Giorgio Canali – I read in an unpublished interview with De Simone that he was unhappy with Canali’s performance, or rather, lack of it as he had sex off camera with Beau before their filming, and wasn’t turned on after that first, off-camera attempt!)



“theme” music – Need Somebody by STUFF (at least one other STUFF tune appears, This One’s For You) plus Jerry Goldsmith’s – The Wrong Clue, and The Last of Ida; plus Serenade In The Night from Primo Scala & His Accordion Band, Herb Alpert’s The Factory (during the Beau/Giorgio scene) and Beyond in the subsequent scene between Johnny & Michael; and of course, PINK FLOYD’s On The Run. I love that the director’s original choices for music withstood the transfer to VHS, etc (unlike the case in The Idol). You can tell the film and music editing was coordinated, not just a random slap up job.

Alas, it is a “short” – but anything that includes the HAIRY AS FUCK version of Clay Russell has got to be worth our time – too bad it’s on the west coast – but the “Streaming Encore” has me intrigued. And interviewing director Tom DeSimone

The Model & The Masseur

I’d forgotten how much I love this Tom DeSimone film from back in 1975 – Catching Up. Sexy and with a plot! Dennis (Keith Anthoni, in his first role, I believe) and Frank (John Farrel, his only porno role?) are two lovers – and Frank wants an open relationship – which pisses Dennis off, so he leaves, only to find solice in….. a porno theatre!!! That’s this clip here, the second scene. I love love love the voiceover, and the filming of this scene – for you youngins – this is how us old gay guys back in the 70’s met each other – groping in the dark in movie theaters!

On the screen you’ve got Paul Strand (Take a Chance, Greek Lightning, Six Card Stud) and Bob Perry (his only porno role) – Keith Anthoni, of course, with Scott Heith (mustached) and Tim Christy who proceed to grope, and turn Keith on. I love this sort of gay coming-of-age – Keith is the younger man in the couple, is content with monogamy, staying at home, but once his lover announce he’s “suffocating” – Keith hits the road and sees what’s out there for him.

I’ve long suspected that our JohnnyLlama works in a bookstore!

enjoy this clip of Johnny at work –

OK OK, from Heavy Equipment (1977); director: Lancer Brooks; – cast: Jack Wrangler, Roger, Chris Adams, Chris & Tim ; non-sex roles: Steve Tracy (Chester, the clerk), Adam Neumar (boss), Jennifer Cashoty (lady customer), and David Warfield (old man)

music: Roys Ayers Exotic Dance, and that gosh darn muzak/jazzy Working On The Railroad

note the lack of Kurt Williams name in the ad! CUZ he ain’t in the film (and least not a sex role) oh, and see me below cleaning the house trying to find my VHS copy of this film. Then, of course, taking a break with Mr. Wrangler



Seriously, it took a week to find the video – and – see below – my desk, the one I am sitting at as I type, and where I compose 95% of my posts… look on the bottom shelf… what the? Anyway, appears that I do have a version that has the sound properly synced – so maybe a future post?

senses working overtime

You’ve probably seen this 3-way all over the internet for years – it’s from a loop – Overtime Training – which was part of Tom DeSimone’s 1980 release, Flesh & Fantasy. And nooooooooooo, not gonna call it Flesh & Fantasy 1, even though a “Flesh and Fantasy 2” was made nearly 20 years later. Original title, regardless of Catalina or whichever corporate overlord owns the rights today.


Director: Tom DeSimone (1980)

Plot: workers complaining about asshole foreman; foreman hears them and a confrontation begins, which of course leads to foreman being ‘forced’ into sex with the pair – Check out foreman Randy Gutzman – he’s in only one film? Go ahead, click the link, you’ll see 5 titles, but they are all the same scene from Flesh & Fantasy. I mean, those puppy dog eyes asking for more! Too bad, right?
