Cruising the Movies: A Sexual Guide to "Oldies" on TV
The first 1985 printing of Boyd McDonald's "sexual guide" to televised cinema, Cruising the Movies. The capstone of McDonald's prolific turn as a freelance film columnist for the Christopher Street magazine, Cruising the Movies collects the author's movie reviews from 1983-1985. McDonald casts an acerbic, queer eye on the greats and not-so-greats of Hollywood's Golden Age. Writing against the bleak backdrop of Reagan-era America, McDonald never ceases to find subversive, arousing delights in the comically chaste aesthetics imposed by Motion Picture Production Code. Scarce.
McDonald was better known as the founder and editor Straight to Hell, a compendia of real-life sexual stories that is part pornography, part ethnography where readers sent in their true-life stories. Item #2227.
