Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This film looks at the 1950's muscle men's magazines and the representative industry that were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still underground homosexual community. Chief among the purveyors of this literature was Bob Mizer, who maintained a magazine and developed sexually inexplicit men's films for over 40 years. Aided by his mother, the two maintained a stable of not so innocent studs. At the end, the film moves into a court room drama as Mizer is tried for running a male-prostitute ring in the early 60's. Clips of Mizer's actual films starring individuals, such as Jack LaLanne and Joe Dallesandro, are included.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Joe Dallesandro was credited as being 19 years old when he modeled for AMG in the original publication, but in actuality, he was only 15-years-old when he posed for the photos (shown in the movie). He later said in interviews that it made him uncomfortable when he would see those particular photos displayed in later publications, as he was underage when they were taken. See more » |

Bob Mizer:
Sun, schmun. This scoundrel's on some kind of a drug trip. [Looks at David] Bob Mizer: You. I warned you. We do not slap wrists here at AMG. I want you to take your weed-head friend here, and I want you to scram. I mean it! [David picks up his friend] Bob Mizer: And don't come back! Ever! [looks down at their naked behinds as they walk out] Bob Mizer: Not until you've learned your lesson! See more » |
