Aro Recommended Beefcake

 

USA 2000, 92 minutes
Dir. Thom Fitzgerald
Genres: Documentary / LGBT

 

Aroview: The director of THE HANGING GARDEN blends archival footage and dramatic action to reveal the secret world behind the well-oiled muscles and high-minded fitness advice of 1950s physique magazines. Charting the rise and fall of publisher, Bob Mizer, this fascinates as both campy ode to 50s underground culture and as a provocative, tragic story of a man ahead of his time fighting a battle for free speech. Interviews include those with physique guru Jack LaLanne and cult actor and one-time model, Joe Dallesandro.
