Jock-a-holics
Plot reminds me of classic Hollywood. “Tales of Manhattan”, 20th Century Fox, 1942. Douglas’ film has a filthy jock strap instead of an unlucky tail coat. The scene with Austin and Bradley is rare in gay porn. It is full of dialog and is very funny but in a quiet, Douglas-like way. I am ever grateful this fellow decided to make gay dirty movies.
