Every November, when searching for men to spotlight on their birthdays, I remember that I still haven't done a post on actor and director Robert Drivas. Drivas was born on November 21st, and although I don't usually do birthday posts on men who have passed, I wanted to honor Drivas for his body of work.
To be honest, I wasn't really familiar with Drivas work when I first saw his images. It was awhile ago, when I first got a computer and got on-line. Of course I was searching for images of the nude male form, and discovered the old Campfire Video site. I believe it was there, that I first saw caps of Drivas getting a nude massage in the 1969 film Where It's At.
Where It's At (1969)
A "Sixties Generation" comedy about an offbeat father-son relationship. Dad runs a Las Vegas hotel-casino and his son is a college student with a different set of moral and ethical standard.
Drivas nude scene in Where It's At isn't so much sexual, and you don't really see much, but to me, it's incredibly erotic. In the scene, A.C (David Janssen) and his son Andy, (Drivas) are getting a nude massage on the rooftop of A.C's Vegas Hotel. Love how the massage givers don't hold back from giving Andy a good butt rub.
Although he appeared in a few television guest shots, Drivas only did a handful of movies from 1967 through 1977. His main passion, and the majority of his roles, were on stage with an impressive Broadway resume, starting in the late 1950's. The same year that Where It's At was released, Drivas also appeared in The Illustrated Man. The movie has an interesting concept, and Drivas appears nude, taking a quick skinny dip, during the films opening credits.
