Blonde Ambition
d. John Amero, Lem Amero / 1981 / 84 min
Saturday, August 2 at 10pm - Beacon Cinema, Seattle
Candy and Sugar Kane aren't getting very far with their song and dance act in Coyote Fang, Wyoming, until one night when British noble Stephen Carlisle III's plane breaks down nearby. After happening to catch their show, he's immediately smitten by the sophisticated Candy along with her ditsy sister, and decides to whisk them off to New York City; setting them up with a luxury penthouse apartment so that they can finally have a shot at their dream of Broadway success. However, as Stephen's interest in Candy becomes increasingly romantic, his posh aunt, Lady Buckingham becomes concerned for the welfare of the family fortune. Taking matters into her own hands, she hires Brett, a sleazy private dick, to try and dig up dirt on Candy and Sugar, hoping to demonstrate to Stephen their actual intentions.
One of the funniest (not to mention gayest) heterosexual adult films ever produced, The Amero Brothers’ love letter to the golden age of Hollywood musicals is a tour de force of burlesque humor, uproarious sight gags, and madcap set pieces, all culminating in one of the most outrageous finales in hardcore film history!
“How could I not respect the Ameros' insistence on making exactly the kind of film they wanted? Yes, these openly gay brothers essentially made their shiny spectacle for a mainstream, heterosexual audience, but the sex scenes are actually as campy as the comedy and there is a ton of crossover appeal, especially in the costumes designed by trans icon Alexis del Lago, the choreography by Mary Ann Niles (known to some as Bob Fosse's first wife) and in the drag show finale, an event which culminates in a police raid/riot that's more Keystone than Stonewall.” - The Iron Cupcake
