Peter Berlin redux

With his trademark Dutchboy haircut and skin tight pants, porn star Peter Berlin became a gay icon for the hedonistic 1970's.  Berlin is the subject of  "That Man," a feature length documentary making the film festival circuit (including Toronto's Inside Out Festival this Friday.)  

Besides  interviews with  Armistead Maupin, John Waters, Wakefield Poole, Jack  Wrangler and the man himself,  film-goers are treated to an archive of photos and film clips that illustrate Berlin's body of work as a street performer, porn star and society glamour boy.

And now Gorilla Factory Productions is re-releasing Berlin's 1974 classic �That Boy� as a digitally remastered DVD, with extras including  audio commentary by Berlin (who now lives in San Francisco) himself.  This is one for every serious gay porn collector.
