    This pre-AIDS footage is amazing, but it's also really depressing knowing what comes next. It's like watching footage of Pompeii right before the volcano erupted.

      That analogy is not a stretch. It is all so sad.

      Actually this wasn't pre-AIDS as people were being infected with HIV in the U.S. as early as the late 1960s.

      Wakefield Poole died in 2021 and was still alive when you wrote this message. So it wasn’t an immediate or certain death time. But yes many of the others in this film passed because of AIDS.

      @@peteradaniel was the death AIDS-related? If so, an AIDS-related death in 2021 is so unusual, especially in a non-Third World County.

    What very sad news!! He was a wonderful person, always a delight to hear from. He remained a great friend to Frank O'Dowd after EC. They worked together on the "revival" Broadway show "Bringing Back Birdie". May they rest in peace.

    Sadly Cal Culver (Casey Donovan) passed away from AIDS complications 10 years later in 1987. He was only 43.

    Was this one of thos rare Gay cable access? This was on my DVD of Wakefield Pooles boys in the sand . The commercial about the gay resort I though was joke, but it was real. Gay men in posh hotels.

    It's quite an important interview in post-Stonewall history. Darned shame the audio is so inferior.

    Unfortunately, while this may have been pre-AIDS, it definitely was not pre-HIV, as HIV infections in early 1970s United States was already prevalent.

    Given its long latency period, it make you wonder how many of the men showed in the intro were already positive.

      O HIV chegou nos EUA na metade dos anos 1960 , daí em diante foi espalhando -se entre a comunidade gay durante os anos 1970 e os contaminados contaminaram a seguir ate os anos 1980 . Pode ser que Cal Cuver tenha se contaminado nesse no final dos anos 1970 .

    This was groundbreaking tv for its time. Casey Donovan was the first super star of porn. He was more talented than sex on film. Highly educated and vibrant - what a tragedy that a decade after this was filmed Donovan was dead. 😢
