Description
An audio letter responding to John Rowberry, editor of the gay magazine Stud Flix. Rowberry appears to have asked the speaker for information about the history of male physique filmmaking. The speaker relates his background as a film maker and editor and answers a question about various male physique films he made before he retired. The speaker then provides context for various films he is sending Rowberry, including some Gloria Holden movies and early physique films from the 1940s to the 1960s. This material was digitized through the generous support of Larry Brenner and Angelo Figone.
