CGiii Comment
What a surprise - Jack Wrangler/Stillman is a thoroughly pleasant and well-adjusted man.
From privileged geeky kid to well-mannered porn icon - it's a masterclass in self re-invention.
His candidness reveals a courage and an intelligence that is both rare and almost mystifying - for someone involved in the adult entertainment industry.
Schwarz allows his story to unfold - through soundbites and by permitting the subject to talk - a fine and refreshing documentary.
Fine work.

From the dawn of the sexual revolution comes the outrageous and true story of 1970s gay porn icon Jack Wrangler. Jack rose to become a major brand name in adult entertainment, as well as a hero to the newly liberated gay population, only to cross over to straight movies and fall in love with famous vocalist Margaret Whiting.
