This movie is more than porn and should be categorized as film in the same vein as the Japanese film, "In the Realm of the Senses". That movie was shown in foreign film venues and the explicitness of the straight sex scenes match that of the gay sex scenes in "Le Beau Mec". The French language soundtrack and music added to the erotic charge of "Le Beau Mec". Having an English soundtrack, "Dude", did not enhance the movie for me, but it was interesting to know the actual dialog having seen the movie in the original French. Wallace Potts was a long time lover of Rudolf Nureyev, the great Russian ballet dancer. Mr Potts is mentioned, as is the movie, in some of the biographies of Nureyev which included pictures of Potts and the other men in Nureyev's life. He made the movie while in the relationship which could explain the the excellence of "Le Beau Mec", a fascinating psychological study of street hustling and gay life in the 70's. Yes, Karl Forest was a beauty!
