Podcast with Wakefield Poole at The Rialto Report.
And in case you don't know who he is,
Wikipedia explains: Wakefield Poole (born Walter Wakefield Poole III in
Jacksonville, Florida in 1936), is an American dancer, choreographer,
theatrical director, and pioneering film director in the gay pornography
industry from the 1970s and 1980s.
Poole joined the Ballet Russe de Monte
Carlo in 1957 and later became a dancer, choreographer, and director on
television and Broadway. From 1964 to 1968, Poole was married to Nancy Van
Rijn, a Broadway performer and choreographer. In the late 1960s, Poole and his
lover Peter Schneckenburger (later known as Peter Fisk, star of Boys in the
Sand) began experimenting with film and multimedia shows, culminating in a
multimedia gallery show for Broadway poster artist David Edward Byrd at the
Triton Gallery in New York. Poole made his directorial film debut with Boys in
the Sand (1971). He and Boys in the Sand producer Marvin Shulman made another
film the following year entitled Bijou, starring Bill Harrison. Poole and
Shulman then attempted to make a crossover film, Wakefield Poole's Bible (1974), a
trio of Old Testament stories focusing on female Biblical figures and starring Georgina
Spelvin as a comic Bathsheba. The film was unsuccessful with audiences, though
well received by the few critics who saw it. A number of Poole's films starred Casey
Donovan, one of the best known porn stars of his time.
