Summary:	"From child prodigy to the most notorious director of gay adult films, Wakefield Poole wrote the rules for living on the edge with no safety line and no apologies. How a former singer and ballet dancer went from the Broadway stage to behind the camera as the world's most beautiful men bared all for him is just part of a story that takes us on a tour of the early days of the sexual revolution, when "anything goes" was more than a phrase - it was a religion. While rubbing shoulders with the elite of the day, including the likes of Noel Coward, Marlene Dietrich, Andy Warhol, Tallulah Bankhead, Liza Minnelli, Bob Fosse, and Stephen Sondheim, Poole created Boys in the Sand, the film that would revolutionize the gay pornography industry and serve as the ruler by which adult entertainment is measured. Poole's memoir takes readers on a trip to an era when anything was possible and everything was celebrated as long as it had style."--BOOK JACKET.
