WOW WOW WOW!!! I’m very excited about this, one of my favorite films – but, alas, I left the city 7 years ago! (road trip???) But YOU SHOULD DROP EVERYTHING AND GO! Seeing this on the big screen again would be awesome. There is, alas (do people actually say “alas”?), 1 likely downside. Sigh. Yes, “it ain’t the old days” and that means it’s gonna have no man2man action off screen or behind the screen or in the audience or down in the basement or… still, I’d go if I could. A few clips to entice you – out of order, but I love this first clip below that is 10 of the last 14 minutes of the film.
Daddy Dearest (1984) director: Arthur J. Bressan, Jr.
Starring: Richard Locke , Daniel Holt, Johnny Dawes, Robert Vega, Dean Johnson, Andrew Dupree, and Jan Boscamp.
While I know I should add more to this post, I also need to get out of the house before the sun is gone – perhaps more later.
Don’t forget my Daddy Dearest page

Looks hot!
I have my ticket already!
yeah! take notes! let us know how it goes!
Juice is also being shown at the Anthology Film Archives. I would expect Blu-ray releases of this and Daddy Dearest to be announced in due time. Of course, being the world’s biggest Michael Christopher fan (dare anyone challenge me to that title?!), I already procured 2 tickets to Juice.
What an age we live in! Gay porn, restored in high definition, and not just any gay porn, but porn starring my all-time favorite performer.
Sorry, I commented before I saw you’d already mentioned Juice further down in your post. Mea culpa!
no apologies needed! glad the word is getting out – I have a “draft” post regarding this showing, too!
we expect a report on the film, the audience, and anything else you care to share. Glad folks are going – sigh
I’ll definitely report back. All I can say in advance is, I wish it were being shown in a theater where other patrons (and management) might, you know, look the other way if I get a little too aroused during the screening…
Dean Johnson’s gevi page now cites you for a quote from an email Dean sent to you, that you have posted somewhere on this blog. Can’t recall if I told you that.
And yes, I highly doubt they’ll provide any adjacent spaces for blowjobs, jacking off or anything else common to the porn theatres of the past. Especially if it’s open to the public. But it would be great to watch these films up on a big screen the way Art Bressan intended them to be seen.
yup. on my DADDY DEAREST page. I saw a pic of Dean in a magazine from the film, sent the photo to him by email and we exchanged a few emails back then. No longer have the emails, but the DADDY DEAREST page pretty much captures what he said about the film.
