Beefcake

Director Thom Fitzgerald
Run time 92 mins Certificate 18

4th April 2004

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.
