Movie Info

This portrait of the man who brought nude male flesh into the American mainstream combines present-day interviews, archival footage, and semi-fictionalized dramatization into a cinematic hybrid. Photographer and filmmaker Bob Mizer (Daniel MacIvor) founded the Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, in Los Angeles in 1945, hoping to turn his fascination with the male physique into a successful business that used nude and semi-nude photographs to sell the services of models to painters and the like.

Beefcake makes a good effort; ultimately, though, it's a little too wooden even for camp.

A goofy amateurish style ... gives the film a terrifically entertaining flair but kind of kills any emotional connection.
