How a respected Broadway dancer, choreographer, and director became the infamous creator of beautiful, wildly successful gay porn is just part of a gripping story that takes us on a whirlwind tour of the early days of the sexual revolution, when anything goes was a way of life. While rubbing shoulders with the theatrical elite of the day, including Noël Coward, Marlene Dietrich, Richard Rodgers, Liza Minnelli, and Stephen Sondheim, Poole created Boys in the Sand, the film that would revolutionize pornography and gay film, start the porno chic trend of the 1970s, and serve as the ruler by which adult entertainment is measured. Pooles memoir is an honest and entertaining look at life in the worlds of theater and gay porn, the perils and joys of success, the horrors of drug addiction, and the resilient spirit of a man who continually re-invented himself and survived it all.This new edition of Dirty Poole contains over 20 photographs and a new afterward by Poole that brings the book up to date.
