Young Gladiators (1988)

An attractively-made, narrated, all-male masturbation tape from director John Summers.Young Gladiators showcases six breathtakingly sexy models captured in lingering, voyeuristic photography as they pose, work out, wash cars, jack off, and more. Most scenes are accompanied by an unseen narrator rhapsodizing about each young man's physical beauty while watching him do his thing on sparsely-staged, well-lit sets, accompanied by classical music. The exception is the segment starring Matt Ramsey (in a rare gay tape; he is also known as straight porn megastar Peter North), which features him in a phone booth engaging in kinky dirty talk while he strokes himself off to climax. Production values are strong throughout, and the video feels naughty in its voyeurism while also tastefully glossy. This beautifully preserved video copy maintains the integrity of the video's crisp, clear, sensuous photography, making it even easier on the eyes.
