Documentary style that works well
By Cameron Hammerstein from LEICESTER, England , 04 Apr 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This is more of a history documentary on the rise and fall of those 1950's muscle men magazines that inched their way onto newstands in America. The closest to a porn magazine you were likely to get in those days. In particular following the trials and tribulations of one of the original photographers in his plight to be accepted.
Don't let that put you off. Included is a 'background' film, with some great comedy and tragedy, good looking nude men and some eye openers, as some of the original pin-ups of those days are interviewed!
This is an unusual film and can be viewed and enjoyed many times over.
Definitely recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

(16)Cheesecake or beefcake?
By Boulbon (73 reviews) from Chiswick , 26 Dec 2009A very odd film which claims to be a history of American soft porn magazines. The 'pseudo' in the pseudo-documentary label needs to be highlighted. It is a pity is isn't really the documentary that might be made from this subject. It is more of a corny home-movie. We found the interviews with Joe Dallesandro the most interesting part of the film. It was mildly amusing to see the older men that the posing pouched 'athletes' had grown into. The 'recreated' scenes of obscenity trials and the back-yard gym with hustlers and body-builders wandering around the pool were risible. It is mostly amateurish and cheesy camp. Disappointing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Beef cake
By funguyuk (4 reviews) from Bournemouth , 03 Sep 2009I was very disappointed with this film. When I saw the previews it looked a promising film.
Not so. This film I would not recommend. Within the first 20 minutes I was bored.- Was this review helpful to you?
