CGiii Comment
Tom of Finland - for those of you who don't know - drew exaggerated, dirty pictures of gay men. Pencil drawn porn.
In this - thankfully - short film, we meet a muse and a lover of Tom - he is as interesting as lettuce.
Tom's 'work' is an acquired taste - a taste that is disappearing with time and that's not a bad thing.
