Curiosità

L.A. Plays Itself is a 1972 American experimental gay pornographic film, directed and produced by Fred Halsted. The film is split into two acts, originally intended to be played out of order. The first act stars Jim Frost and Rick Coates, whereas the second act stars Halsted and Joey Yale. Yale was Halsted's long-term partner.

Production

Fred Halsted states that one of the motivations behind the making of L.A. Plays Itself (and his other films) was "to get S&M and allied perversions out on the screen where people could look at them, think about them, analyze them, let it affect them, whatever they wanted, but not have it hidden anymore, and leave it open where people can deal with it easily." He has been quoted as saying that the film was highly autobiographical.

L.A. Plays Itself was filmed in Malibu, Los Angeles, and Griffith Park. Joey Yale, upon being told of Halsted's plans for the fisting scene, refused to be fisted in an unsimulated manner and was replaced by a body double.
