DIRECTOR PETER DE ROME

Peter de Rome began filming short jerk-off

home films in the 60's, basically for his own
personal use, and was "discovered" by Jack
blog Deveau in the early 70's. Impressed with
what he saw, Deveau put together a collection
pornology of de Rome's work, having him film one
additional segment, Underground (shot in
directors
New York City's subways), and released The
Erotic Films of Peter de Rome in 1973. In his
  Arthur Bressan, autobiography, The Erotic World of Peter de
Jr. Rome , published in 1984, and reprinted again
in 2000 de Rome recounts many of his early
  Arch Brown sexcapades, as well as his preference for
black men (as can be seen in the hot orgy
  Peter De Rome scene in Adam and Yves . Sad that he made
(or rather, released) so few films, but one can
  Tom DeSimone only imagine what the man must have stored
away in his home. I've seen several places
  Jack Deveau where he was planning, back in the early 80's,
to do a gay porno version of Grand Hotel - man that would've been awesome in his
  Roger Earl
hands!

The best part is probably the fantastic montage of movie
theatre marquees, mostly of "blacksploitation" films,
which leads to the all-black orgy in a movie theatre
bathroom which includes ex -boxer Geraldo (who later

also appears in the bathroom orgy scene in A Night at

the Adonis). Soundtrack by David Earnest, which
includes "Honey Man", a song co-written by de Rome himself, which works
wonderfully with the bathroom orgy scene. Starring Michael Hardwick, Marcus
Giovanni, plus: Kirk Luna, Bill Young, Jack Deveau, Daniel Montfort, Denise Royal,
Jaap Penraat, and Charles Pooney; "in the bathroom" with: Eric Crawford, Bob Jones,
Luther LeVale, Tony Skinner, and Glenn Wilson.< This film also contains a poem by
W.H. Auden, and film inspiration from "Queen Christina".>

The Destroying Angel (1976)

Based in part on a work by Edgar Allen Poe
(there's a painting of Poe on the priest's wall),
a priest ("Caswell Campbell") on sabbatical
from his religious duties, plunges himself
into a world of gay sex and
drugs(mushrooms). Some parts seem a bit
choppy in the editing (at least the duped
version I've seen), but actually Robert
Alvarez's editing is superb, managing to
balance the great sex scenes with the
director's story of a man who has severe
doubts about his chosen profession, and does
hallucinagenic mushrooms. One scene, where
Caswell watches himself have sex with a
handsome trick, then joins in, is fantastic!
Jack Deveau's camerawork is amazing, as
well. It's quite a trip, well worth seeing if you
like freaky, trippy sex scenes, and have a
joint nearby! The pic below is a publicity
picture for the film, our hero is at the bottom of the pic, as the group of men jerk off on
him. Starring Tim Kent, Bill Young (aka Big Bill Eld), Thom Aaron, Philip Darden,
