Episode description
The Park Theater, the Century Theater, Signature Films, Jaguar Productions, these are just a couple of names, I could throw out there to anyone who knew what was "in" back in the day and the man that was responsible for all of them was Monroe Beehler.
A pioneering studio that was run out of a basement in the Hollywood Hills, Jaguar was the first feature film production-distribution company with national reach that was exclusively gay, yet it is minimally chronicled in gay media history.
Narrated by Monroe Beehler, The Rivermen directed by Monroe Beehler under the name Marc Aaron has been applauded for its cinematography and was an example of storyline erotic films that were released during the golden age of gay erotica.
