Overview
From child prodigy to the most notorious director of gay adult films, Wakefield Poole wrote the rules for a living on the edge with no safety line and no apologies. How a former singer and ballet dancer went from the Broadway stage to behind the camera as the world's most beautiful men bared all for him is just part of a fascinating story that takes us on a whirlwhind tour of the early days of the sexual revolution when "anything goes" was more than a phrase, it was a religion.While rubbing shoulders with the elite of the day, including Andy Warhol, Bob Fosse, and Stephen Sondheim, Poole created Boys in the Sand, the gay porn film that would revolutionize the industry and serve as the ruler by which adult entertainment is measured to this day. Only in that time and that place would it have been possible, and Poole's memoir serves as a fascinating trip to an era when anything was possible and everything was celebrated as long as it had style.
