Gay Porn Classics: The Idol

Gay Porn Classics: The Idol

From Manshots, November 1988:

THE IDOL (1979): Produced, Written and Directed by Tom DeSimone; A Hand in Hand Film; Cinematography by Nick Elliot; Sound by Jason Sato; Assistant Director, Rick Jason; Songs by Archie Gresham; Performed by Stan Freeman and David Morgan.

CAST: Gary (Kevin Redding): Terry (Mark Bitler); Karen (Darla-Lee Barnett): Coach (Nick Rogers): Chuck (Greg Dale): Boys in the Shower (Derek Stanton, Jim Bartolotta): Gary's Cousin (Jerry Foxe): Preacher (Peter Boch ard). Running time: 73 minutes.

Today, nearly a decade after its theatrical release, Tom DeSimone's The Idol remains as fresh and sensuous as ever, arguably the best piece of gay erotica ever filmed. The classic Coming Out story, the picture begins with a black and white image of a vibrant all-American adolescent. Gradually, the camera pans back to reveal that it is a news photo under the headline "College Athlete Dies in Auto Accident". A blond bicyclist picks up the newspaper from the dusty road and begins to reminisce about the loss. There are many reasons for The Idol's enduring popularity. First of all, it is so honestly written and directed that virtually any gay male can relate to it. Second, because of its honesty and the remarkable presence of its star, the sexual encounters it records are infinitely more erotic than most of the impersonal couplings in all too many of today's videos. Finally, such care has been lavished on the casting, the cinematography, the editing, and the production values that The Idol emerges as something to touch the mind and the heart without in any way ignoring the gonads. 

Shamelessly romantic, the film is seen basically through the eyes of Terry, the boy on the bike (nicely played in low-key style by Mark Bitler), who proves to be a consummate voyeur in the hero worship of his idol, Gary (portrayed by Kevin Redding in his only film
appearance ever, and what a pity that is, for he is facially, physically, and genitally
breathtaking). The film begins at his funeral, and is neatly divided into five flashbacks, each of which realistically represents a step in his coming out: a solo masturbation sequence on the front seat of his car when his girlfriend leaves him hot-rocked in a lovers' lane; tentative experimentation in the school shower with three of his buddies, in
which he remains strictly trade; a massage session with his coach, in which he kisses a man for the first time; a poolside encounter with his cousin, in which he cautiously experiments with oral sex (after smoking a joint), progresses to active anal sex, and eventually throws his legs in the air to whisper "Let me see what it feels like"; and finally, the culminting interlude with Terry, in which he reveals the ardor, commitment, and versatility of sexual maturity.

The Idol is a must for any gay video library. There is not a false moment in the entire work, either dramatically or erotically, and if the final fadeout reminds you a bit of the ending of Maytime, who says you can't cry and come at the same time?

Great album.  Jim Battaglia (aka Jim Bartolotta aka Rex Wolfe) is so handsome and sexy...  Late seventies perfection with his 'tache, mop of thick, wavy blond hair curling over his ears and the nape of his neck, and his beautiful blue eyes...
