Nights in Black Leather, when compared to the slam-dunk, swish, swish of modern erotic movies, is pretty mild stuff -- Peter Berlin's narcistic obsession with his own "perfect" body came to be a dominate factor in gay youth culture -- I'm almost certain I saw this film at the Adonis Theater in NYC on Eighth Avenue with a friend of mine who was living nearby, but it could have been one of the other gay movie houses nearby -- it's a classic, and included in this collection because of its cultural significance -- it's one of the earliest full-length gay porn movies and was very popular with the NYC crowd; and helped to solidify San Francisco as the capital of Gaydom -- it was not until the early 1980s that AIDS came to fully dominate gay culture (the CDC publishe its first report on what was to become known as AIDS in 1981)-- this movie, said to have been been origally produced using 16 mm film, cinematically it is typical of the so-so quality of most porn of the era -- the film (although cinematically crude in many respects, and along with a handfull of other producers, such as Wakefield Poole, Fred Halstead, Michael Zen, Jack Deveau, and Joe Gage) influenced not only the gay erotic film industry, but also an evolving gay community gestalt -- see Wikipedia in "Personal Details - Links".
