Gay-ing To The Movies With S.W.
Jan-Michael Vincent And
Joan Goodfellow
in "Buster And Billie"
Remember the “Fabu
lous Fifties”? Three new
movies--at least two of
which should be in Atlanta
and other cities this
month will remind you.
Like the decade itself,
the pictures are not all
that fabulous.
The best of the lot,
“Buster and Billie,” is
actually set in 1948; and
since it takes place in
rural Georgia, it looks
like it could be earlier.
If you saw “The Last
Picture Show,” you’ve
seen about half of “Buster
and Billie”; several cha
racters and situations are
common to both. But who
will want to miss another
nude swimming scene
when this one includes a
frontal shot of Jan-
Michael Vincent?
He plays Buster, the
most popular guy in high
school (and the only one
with crow’s feet!) He’s
supposed to marry
Margie (Pamela Sue
Martin) when they grad
uate.
But he becomes attrac -
ted to the inner beauty of
Billie (Joan Goodfellow),
a girl who has none on
the outside. Her appeal
to this point has been her
willingness to ball any-
and everyone. When
Buster takes their source
of pleasure out of em
ulation. his friends turn
against him. leading to
a tragic ending.
“Buster and Billie” is
well-acted, an offbeat but
generally believable love
story.
At the other end of the
gamut is “Our Time,”
Dear Luv Lee,
I have a very personal
problem. The size of my
penis is very small com
pared to most gay males
my age (23). can you give
me some advice or per
haps a solution? you see,
I have an inferiority com-
which is strictly trash.
It’s about the lives and
loves of girls in a New
England private school in
1955.
Actually', it’s about two
girls, Pamela Sue Martin
(again!) and Betsy Slade.
Pamela Sue is the pretty
one. who finds true love
with a pretty boy, Parker
Stevenson (of “ASeparate
Peace”-. They “do it”
for the first time in a
Boston hotel.
Betsy is less fortunate
when she- “goes all the
way.” It’s in .the back
of a Chevy with George
O’Hanlon, Jr., a gangly
youth who adores her.
Naturally, such love
leads to a “love child,”
which leads to an
abortion, which leads to
another tragic ending. If
you like movies, you’ll
find “Our . Time” a
tragedy from start to fin
ish.
Advancing a couple of
years chronologically,
and a couple of decades
cinematically, we come to
“The Lords of Flatbush.”
The only thing it has in
common with “Our
Time is a girl wearing
a poodle shirt.
But it has a happy end
ing. and it doesn’t have
Pamela Sue Martin; so it
can't be all bad.
Flatbush is a section
of Brooklyn, and “The
plex because of this and
I can’t get up the nerve
to even talk to anyone,
unless I am plastered.
This is not a joke letter,
please believe that and
answer.
Shortchanged
Dear Shortchanged,
First of all, you were
not. You see, many men
both straight and gay suf
fer from this problem.
Wake up! Size does not
make the man. It isn’t
the equipment a guy has
it’s the way he uses what
nature provided him with.
No lasting relationship is
based on the size of some
one’s penis. I would'Sug
gest that you see a doc
tor and discuss this prob
lem with him. The most
important thing is to rid
yourself of your hangups
concerning this. Booze is
not the answer. It won’t
give you a big penis, just
a hangover.
Luv Lee
Dear Luv Lee,
I am a gay woman, aged
44. I have had two affairs
(one lasted six years, the
other four and one half).
My problem is that I think
I am in love with a gay
male. He has been a friend
of mine for 11 years. I
find myself becoming de
pressed often and have
even faked being sick so
that Jack would come to

Dear Luv Lee
Advice To The Lovelorn
Pamela Sue Martin And Parker
Stevenson In "Our Time"
Lords” are a “social/
athletic club. ” From the
way they dress and act,
you’d think that was a
euphemism for “gang”;
but they don’t do much
ganglike activity, either,
They mostly have love
affairs.Stanley (sylvester
Stallone) has a funny af
fair with Fran (Maria
Smith) that ends up seri
ously; and Chico (Perry
King) has casual affairs
that just end.
If you want to go back
15-25 years, these movies
will take you there.
“Buster and Billie” takes
you to the Georgia country
side, “The Lords of
Flatbush” to the Brooklyn
streets, and “Our Time”
to Fantasy land.

he has recently said that
if I want him to, he will
room with me. What
should I do? Any advice
you can give me will be
appreciated.
Living in Misery
Dear Living in Misery,
You sure have a prob
lem! A close friendship
of 11 years should not be
endangered! Does Jack
Know?
Could it bejhat because
two affairs ended, you are
seeking love in a relation
ship that has been secure
for 11 years. There are
many kinds of love and
if Jack is truly gay, you
have the chance of a snow
ball in hell. I don’t mean
to be cruel, but I would
advise you to wake up.
Maybe in this case to
tal honesty with Jack
would help. If you two
have been friends so long,
he will probably under
stand and although it may
shock him, it might give
him a chance to help you.
