Vintage porn superstar Jack Wrangler and muscular porn star/mainstream film actor Malo star in this groundbreaking film by Hand in Hand Films director Jack Deveau, shot in and depicting a typical day at New York City’s Adonis Theater. A great cast, clever script, excellent production values, and a nostalgic look at 1970s cruising culture make this film a true classic! This glossy production — fully of breezy dialogue and humor, entertaining performances, and excellent photography (as well as captivating sex scenes) – is an impressive cinematic achievement by Deveau and serves as a fascinating historical document of the Adonis Theater and ’70s gay culture, as we’re given a tour of the establishment (including meeting the theater’s actual ticket taker in a small but memorable role) and a detailed illustration of how it operates. From the balcony to the boiler room, the wide range of customers (from young to mature, leather to clean-cut) meet, have missed connections, and engage in all sort of sexual enjoyment, including a sprawling bathroom orgy. Cast also includes Geraldo and Jayson MacBride.

“Truly a fitting tribute and realistic document about this dubious gay porn landmark at the height of its notoriety.” – Male Review

Curator's Note: PinkLabel.TV is curated by its creator Shine Louise Houston based on a set of criteria that aims to expand our notions of adult film. Our collection includes erotic and adult videos that often exist outside of conventional pornography, whether in depictions of bodies and desires that are underrepresented in commercial porn, through titles with historical cultural relevance, or movies with original concepts and cinematic craft. With these factors taken into consideration, we hope you appreciate the film.

Troubleshooting Streaming Video On your Computer:

Try Another Video: Try viewing another episode on the site to see if you encounter the same problem. If only one video on the site is causing an issue, please contact us via the form below (and mention which video is causing trouble).
Refresh Your Browser Window: This will reset the player, in case a temporary error occurred.
Close Other Tabs and Windows: Other open websites can sometimes conflict with video playback or overtax your computer's memory.
Check your Browser version: Our site works optimally on the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer. You can check your browser version and update to the latest at whatbrowser.org.

Check Your Internet Connection: Measure your current data speed at Speedtest.net and insure your current download speed matches what your ISP promises to provide. If it clocks lower than it should, make sure no one else on your network is downloading large files or streaming video, that you haven't exceeded any data quotas set by your ISP, and that you have a strong connection if on wifi.
If those aren't an issue, try resetting your home network:
  1. Turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug your Modem.
  3. Unplug your router if it's a separate device.
  4. Wait for around one minute.
  5. Plug in your modem and wait about a minute until all indicator lights are on. Then do the same for your router if you have one.
  6. Turn on your computer and wait for it to reconnect, then test your connection again.
If your connection speed is still lower than it should be, contact your ISP.
