Gosh darn it! I thought I was working on a neglected drafts folder post – but apparently I posted back in 2021? – First I wanted to verify that my copy (actual copy pictured above) was the shorter version (digging thru boxes in basement, plugging into VCR, it is!) Then realizing the “clip” was over a gigabyte (it’s the whole film) I decided to make a more manageable filesize, and now while the version on my desktop plays fine – this version, below – only plays sound???
quick pause – this is a work in progress; been in drafts folder for years, and figured, flesh out what you can, add in the cover pics, and add stuff as you learn more (from you guys, if you have any of these issues) I think this is a great series, devoted almost entirely to photography, pulled from the pages of In Touch For Men, but also shots that didn’t make it into the monthly, and then some more from studios like COSCO (there’s a lot of COSCO – yippee!). 14 issues in total, through 1980. (and as soon as I hit “publish” I see a lot of cleanup/editing to do!)
The Boys of Company F. (1984?) – directed by Raymond Goodwyn (his only film)
Starring: Rick Donovan, Jeff Richards, Bob Carson, Jim Higgins, Joe Reeves , Charles Hammond, Tom Dreyer, Rick Evans, Sam Powers, Jim Highland, David Gilbert
I’ve always thought the date 1984 seemed late, given the look of the film; and my old cassette actually has 1985 as the date. But maybe it was produced only as early as 1982 or 1983… ’83 being the year Rick Donovan first came on the scene in Sailor in the Wild (in the scene where Leo Ford does all the work, and makes the scene work!). You’ll notice this promo says this is Rick’s first film – so something delayed the release. Anyway, while Donovan is the sergeant barking orders, and he’s in the orgy finale, he’s barely in the film, and scene 3 is arguably the best scene – with hottie Joe Reeves and Bob Carson, where Joe barters sex for a chopper part he desperately needs.
hmmmpf. Actually re-watching the scene, meh! I guess it was the setting / setup that seemed hot (army barracks, bare mattress, Joe Reeves look as his face is buried in the mattress), but I think our resident reddit reviewer is correct – “so rote” – the “top” was just so uninterested in what/who he was doing – and it’s Joe fuckin’ Reeves! Stills are much hotter. The promo, I still like the promo clip.

no. i did not crop off his head, this is the way I found this lovely image (minor cropping at edges of magazine page) – either the photographer Jim Wigler, or the editor of the magazine is responsible.
you know why this image is under “pet peeves” – too bad, it is an almost perfect image – but I was adding another publication to this gentlemen’s “pornstar – videography” and figured I’d scan the 8-page photospread (with cheesy 1984 title), add one more pic – heck – more of this guy elsewhere on BJland

Y’all know I prefer Cadinot’s still photography to his movies? Basically the films are invariably very young men, not my taste – but I do recall fondly watching some of these films in Chicago’s Bijou Theatre, and then of course New York’s Jewel / Bijou Theatre, downtown on 3rd Avenue. Despite not particularly enjoying his choice of models, the films are well done, big cocks, lots of thrusting motions, good cum shots, and of course the occasional cum shot that is NOT CUM – but makes me giggle. Can’t recall if the voiceover/dub was also in the films themselves. Includes promos from films released on videotape through Marksman Productions –
enjoy snippets from – Harem – (1984) AKA Sex Bazaar; Aime… comme Minet (1982) AKA All of Me; Les minets sauvages (1984) AKA Tough & Tender; Age tendre (1984) AKA Coming Soon; and Hot on the Trail AKA Scouts II – did I miss any?
As is often the case, I am working on a post, get sidetracked (or fall down a rabbit hole) and hours, possibly days later, that post hasn’t yet been published but a new one (or 2, or 3) appears in the drafts folder, to work on later, and set the same potential derailing in motion again. All that to say, noticed that this version of the El Paso trailers (there are at least 3, I think) hadn’t gotten much attention. This is with a female voiceover, (Gage mentioned once she’s a famous soap opera star from the time), kinda going for that “porno chic” feel from the early 70’s when allegedly mixed audiences were found at some theatres more for the fun of seeing an X-rated film, and less so for the sex going on all around you. (I suppose that’s where we fall today, whenever an old classic gets the remastering or gay film festival treatment. sigh.) And of course, watching this several times I am reminded of this one moment, seen above, that I don’t think is actually in the film! It may have been extra footage, something that didn’t fit the narrative (my take, based on nothing, is that it was to be part of the finale – which more or less takes place indoors, before the particular “wrecking” of a property, and they baptize the place with an orgy) – but I have seen no trace of this anywhere in the full film, and I have watched it dozens of times (likely more). So, enjoy – less that 90 seconds, but packed with man-on-man sexiness.
