Adam & Yves could only have been made in the Seventies. Inspired by the early years of gay liberation and the international film renaissance that began with Easy Rider and the French New Wave, Peter de Rome brings a gravity to the blue movie heretofore achieved by Fred Halsted with LA Plays Itself. No one certainly has been this ponderous since. Like many classic releases, the sex is integrated into the story in such a way that the two are inseparable - the sex might even be secondary in this case, as de Rome is clearly using pornography as a means to a larger end. Last Tango In Paris figures prominently in Adam & Yves, as reference, as homage and even as blueprint. Simply put, pretension is ever-present in Adam & Yves! Cast: Jack Deveau, Kirk Luna, Jaap Penraat, Bob Jones, Michael Hardwick, Marcus Giovanni, Bill Eld
