Portrait of Dorian Gay

'Looking for love, even love itself is not a theme that is often explore in hardcore films, and it's a refreshing change.'

Portrait of Dorian Gay

Bijou Classics

Original Release, 1972

Starring: Alex Devron as Dorian

& Barry Case, Chris Travis, Gary Sands

Filmed in Eastman color and with a lavish music score, Dorian Gay may well be the turning point in the history of gay films.  More than that, this fine, professionally made film establishes a new star, Alex Devron.  As Dorian Gay, he is more than a man with a hard-on.  He is a gifted, imaginative actor, a hybrid of the body beautiful and the functioning mind.  Devron is superb.

Every great work of fiction deserves a porn parody, and The Picture of Dorian Gray was primed for this 1972 gay porn release.  If you Google the movie title, you'll see several sites that have the full film to watch.  It's beautifully filmed, but a little 'pokey' at times.  Getting those two hotties naked in the bathroom took forever....  I'm usually all about the buildup, but I wanted to scream, 'he's dry!'

In addition to the excellent sets and photography in this scene, the film was shot in a mansion in Pasadena.  The two men have fantastic bodies and are expertly versed in bedmanship.  In fact, they make Linda Lovelace's performance in Deep Throat look like amateur night in Selma.
