Fred Halsted – Dirty Books (1981)
A rare film from Fred Halsted (known for LA Plays Itself). This encode is based on chef’s upload of the Alpha Blue Archives release.
Quote:
Part pseudo-documentary, it switches from group stroking, mutual masturbation, oral sex and a bit of anal intercourse with historic images and art photo set.

Hello!
This is directed by Tom DeSimone, not Fred Halsted. And it is from circa 1971-1972, not 1981 (that date is probably its first home video release).
Mubi says it was directed by Fred Halsted .

Hello! There is a lot of wrong information floating around about it. Mubi is wrong. I checked with a friend who is an expert on adult cinema (and one of the founders of the Vinegar Syndrome label) and he confirms that it is Tom DeSimone and circa 1971-1972. For some reason, After Hours video released it on DVD under Halsted’s name, so many places picked that up even though it’s wrong. It had previously been released on home video and copyrighted at that time as 1981, even though the film was made a decade earlier, so many places have the date wrong because of that. I have not seen any source that has both the director and the date correct.
I not only love that you have this stuff, I appreciate as well a discussion like the one above, showing, that this is a site for the cognoscenti. Please reup.
