My Hustler (1965)
6/10
Nice Nostalgia, but thats about it.

Warning: Spoilers
This film was quite boring and lacking of a plot.

An aging, wealthy gay man admires a young boy-toy sunning himself on the beach from his beach house patio. Soon accompanied by his fag-hag neighbor and friend and veteran hustler the three of them make a wager as to who will bed the male beach bunny first. The only other scene in the film is of the young man and the hustler grooming in the mirror after a shower where the younger boy is eagerly extracting advice from the older man about whether or not to sell his body and how to go about it. The older man uses this as an opportunity to win the bet and selfishly steers the boy into a life of prostitution in hopes of seducing him. The film ends anticlimactically with the boy trying to digest all of the advice given to him by a slew of people with only their own interests at heart.

I believe this film is worth seeing merely for nostalgia purposes. If you're a Warhol fan you wouldn't want to say you haven't seen it. It is interesting for conversation sake, but a quality film by no means.
