Category: Tom DeSimone

I cannot remember why I wanted to post the intro to Tom DeSimone 1979 film, Bad, Bad Boys, but irregardless, here it is. And with all the love sent to Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. with TWO of his films getting restored and shown on the big screen this month, let’s not forget Tom – much more prolific, some amazing stars have worked with him, let’s hope some of his work gets the star treatment it deserves as well.

oh wait – it had something to do with this comment on another post – perhaps a scene from here appears on that tape?

Starring: Guy De Silva, Rufus, Guy Lance, Derrick Stanton, Steve Event, Lenny Koto, Bill Leonard, Dick Miller, Johnny Ryan, and introducing Johnny Dawes (as B.J.)

so here we go – this is the promo for the film, above; a link to the full version of Theo Vaness’s I’m A Bad Bad Boy, which of course is the theme music to the film! A review of the film many years later in Manshots magazine; and of course, previously on BJland posts

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

“Cult filmmaker Tom DeSimone (Reform School Girls; Erotikus: A History of the Gay Movie) revisits the production of a lost gay film and resurrects youthful adventures on the California coast. From the creators of Raw! Uncut! Video! (Frameline45).

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

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.
