Dick Fisk was one of the most famous faces of gay erotica in the mid to late 1970’s and onward into the early 1980’s. He was manly, oozed sexuality and confidence and….that mustache. He appeared in only a handful of magazines and movies but his iconic look made him Falcon Studios first "instant" superstar.
In this episode we are going to celebrate Arch Brown, a filmmaker who would become a master craftsman and philanthropist after leaving the corporate world behind, his film, The Night Before, a beautifully crafted film that was on Variety’s 50 top-grossing film’s list in the nation for five weeks. And finally we will celebrate Dick Fisk, the archetypal Castro clone with the perfect physique and generous endowment whose contributions to the gay adult entertainment industry still resonate with his admirers today.
