Francis Ellie's "Color Classic," as the film is touted on its new-to-DVD release packaging, has all the free-spirited (meaning: pre-condom) joy and campy sex scene set-ups one can expect from a 1979 classic. Worth watching for the soundtrack alone, Men Come First is a true screamer: funny, fierce, farcical, fabulous. Star George Payne is swishy but strangely sexy as the salesman with a little something extra. Film transfers faithfully and is a fun romp down memory lane, harkening back to the days when gay sex was synonymous with mustaches, vans, and amyl nitrite. Ah, the good old days.
RETAILING: This is the kind of flick that puts the "theater" in "porn theater." Sell popcorn with this DVD - gay porn has never been so entertaining.
