my first
Andy Milligan was
Vapors, from the
VS Sexploitation Signature Series. missing out on his Fleshpot on 42nd Street is a particular regret of mine, especially now that I've seen Vapors. so it's from 1965, it's his first movie (~30min short), it's set in a bath house, men seeking men, it's b&w and there isn't a single dick shown. sex movies are still just beginning, which I knew from
Vibrations. pre-hardcore it's super soft core. no sex here: this movie is tender, it's dimensional, it's full of character, and it's a million fucking miles from Hollywood movies in this time period, much closer to something like
Shadows. it's hella authentic seeming even if it's obviously a movie. everyone is acting natural
