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.

The(ir) Blurb...

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.
