Robert Alvarez (RIP 12/29/25)

I was hoping to find this sad news in a “legitimate” newspaper before posting, but it’s been over a week, and I have no reason to doubt the veracity of this facebook post:

“I was just informed by a friend who still lives in the building that Bobby died today at 87. He was practically porn royalty. RIP Robert Alvarez”

If you don’t know, Robert co-founded Hand in Hand Films with director (and his life partner) Jack Deveau, and edited most of the films (certainly all of Jack’s), as well as directing a couple of short films for Hand in Hand. I encourage you to check out this 2019 piece over at BIJOU WORLD VIDEO – Interview with Robert Alvarez, Hand in Hand Films Co-Founder/Editor

I met Robert Alvarez back in 2003 – after he had emailed me when a friend of his alerted him that a photo of him and Jack was on some guy’s blog on the web. No doubt the pic of the pair on my Jack Deveau, director’s page. Alas, I don’t have the handful of emails, but it included an invite to meet – which I greedily accepted – especially since he said he still lived in their famed apartment, or as he said “the scene of the crimes.”

You can read my post from later that day – but I’ll just leave you with two clips i absolutely loved, and was lucky enough not only to compliment him on them, but see his face light up when I mentioned them. He lent me his copy of unedited VHS tape of Erotikus: A History of the Gay Movie – which he brought up after having read my “wish list.” Alas, I still have it – we never connected again but for one other time, by accident/coincidence, at a Wakefield Poole lecture/screening. I saw him, got up the nerve to approach, and not til I mentioned the VHS tape did he remember me, but lit up and teased that I stole it, and he assured me he’d contact me when he had time for me to return it. Gosh, why wasn’t I pushier and followed up with a simple email. sigh.

this post: wanna fuck? I’ll meet you in the living room in 10 seconds a clip from Drive, original music from composer David Earnest


from the film Fire Island Fever, featuring this music – Let Me Be Your Fantasy (1978) from Penthouse presents The Love Symphony Orchestra.

YorjYefferson’s reddit review of Drive

I’ll leave you with one of his films, Noon, part of the 1985 film In Heat, starring two favorites of mine, J.D. Slater and Brian Michaels (and Billy Knight and Rod Hunter (in the chair)).


they had Fire Island Fever, shirts!

Leslie, Jim, Jay or Lorenzo


I posted the above pic, cropped, on a previous post. Alas, inquiring minds want to know his name, and all I know is this is from the film ORGY

cast list: Colon Topar, Daniel Holt, Leslie Williams, Scorpio, Jim Davies, Bosch Wagner, Dwan, Jay Richards and Lorenzo Vidal

so we know it’s NOT: Colon Topar,(cover model) Daniel Holt, Scorpio, Bosch Wagner, or Dwan – so it’s

possibly: Leslie Williams, Jim Davies, Jay Richards or Lorenzo Vidal

NOTE: someone got ahead of me on this post!

orgy

this post has been in drafts for years! dusted it off after some comments over here regarding a Christopher Rage (Tray Christopher – more on that in yet Another post!) photo. Bits of a mess, but has lots of stuff – so here goes:





at some point SPUNK VIDEO re-released a bunch of CHristopher Rage titles, including this one – more importantly, they had the full 90-minutes, unlike the version I sold more than once (can’t recall if my big box oldest version was 70 or 90 minutes)

the following are notes from the last time I sold the video cassette, in about 2013:

Director: Christopher Rage (1983) – “precondom” – 70 minutes running time (edited version)

Starring: Colon Topar, Daniel Holt, Leslie Williams, Scorpio, Jim Davies, Bosch Wagner, Dwan, Jay Richards and Lorenzo Vidal

70 minutes running time

“Voted one of Drummer magazine’s “Best Videos of 1983,” the models here are seen playing with themselves and (having oral and anal) in various combinations until the film’s final episode, when they all turn up for an orgy.”

some highlights (from my eBay auction notes back in 2008):

  • Colon Topor, a dark-haired, bearded top-man with intense intelligent features, resplendent in 1980s punk leather gear (big studs on gauntlets and his hat, arrogant gloves, major dark sunglasses, and long chains on the chest) leads into one of the most easy, flexible anal scenes, almost like a dance as his tight muscle ass bounces
  • Perhaps it s Leslie Williams, kind of geeky at first, who gradually disrobes at the seeming unconscious prompting of the voiceover, Why don t you take off your clothes? (Note the long tube socks and the playboy bunny on his black underwear.) He begins to masturbates shaved crotch. Topor appears in his arrogant splendor, and a parallel action occurs: a slow disrobing, all except the gauntlets, gloves and the chains.
  • Another scene unfolds, which intercuts with the Topor/Williams interaction: hunky thick mustachioed Bosch Wagner (who always looks open-mouthed throughout the film) and Scorpio of the colossal crotch. Do it again, yeah! the voice murmurs as the oral-fest unfolds, and at third mustachioed person emerges to join. Scorpio definitely enjoys getting his worshipped, and deservedly so. Bosch really likes oral, and the sound effects seem to whisper this phrase.

  • Bosch (or another mustachioed dude who looks like him) now tops a bronzed Latin type (ecstatic expressions abound); the Latin hunk spontaneously . Note the spontaneity; no obvious breaks or pauses or takes before the shots. These men are really getting into hot sex.

  • Another inter cut (note the parallel scenes often merge into each other, but seamlessly) and Topor, striding the camera like a colossus, is doing it fast and hard, and eventually dominates Williams and another stud with his average sized yet virile crotch. Colon slaps the face of his bottom s with his awesome gloves, really natural given the flow of the action: let us all worship him, he seems to imply.
  • A fourth stud appears, and then a fifth, the Bosch/Scorpio tribe joins the Colon tribe, but Colon is still in charge. Bosch s distinctive longing mouth takes all he can, and a mustachioed dude in a leather vest appears.

I did not credit / nor do I remember where I lifted this description from – perhaps a review.

Dan Sutton

Dan Sutton, who you may remember from such films as:

yes, it’s a pissing video, so shield your eyes if you must! Two short films and their associated magazines might be it for Dan, but I’m holding out hope there’s more to his porno work – nonetheless, sexy stache, knows his way around cocks, and not afraid to get wet!

who you may remember from such publications as:

  • Bats and Balls (1976)
  • Down the Drain
  • Illustrated Sports Vol. 2 – mostly, if not entirely the same as Bats and Balls
  • (holding space)
  • Gym #2 – literally 5 minutes after posting, saw this – appears to be same images as Bats and Balls
