This remarkable lost classic stars the legendary gay adult actor and AIDS
activist Richard Locke, one of the quintessential daddies in classic gay
adult cinema, best known for his work on Joe Gage’s trilogy and novice
performer Robert Adams. Unavailable since its initial release forty years
ago, Arthur J. Bressan, Jr.’s Forbidden Letters has been digitally
restored in a beautiful new 2K scan.
Forbidden Letters is one of the most romantic and cinematically
sophisticated gay adult dramas of all time. Utilizing flashbacks,
epistolary voiceover, terrific dramatic scenes and a variety of super hot
and languorously paced sexual encounters — writer-director Bressan unfolds
a simple tale of the cherubic 20-something Larry (Robert Adams, whose sole
other performance was in Bressan’s 1974 debut feature, Passing Strangers)
longing for his tall, dark and handsome older lover, 30-something Richard
(Richard Locke) who is about to be released from prison. With the tagline:
“An Unusual Gay Love Story,” the film’s original ad campaign touted Adams
as “Young & Innocent” and Locke as “Hot & Macho.”
