Vintage Falcon Studios: when 'taxi rides' and 'hitchhiking' hit very different.
Collection of five short films from Falcon Studios. "Champs: The Finals" — Dark-haired stud superstar Dick Fisk and all-American blond Sky Dawson in their only film together! "Taxi Driver" — Craig Ryan hails Al Parker's cab and gets taken for a ride. "Hitchhiker" — Bill Adams gives Vince Clark a ride to remember. "Will Seagers and The Hustler" — A young executive enjoys a very thorough and rough trade interview. "Chauffeur's Time" — Tom Hartung in his classic solo film.
Practical Effects

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Falcon Studios defined 70s gay male aesthetics; this anthology captures pre-AIDS sexual freedom now viewed as historical document.
Al Parker and Matt Sterling were real-life partners; 'Taxi Driver' doubles as their domestic collaboration. Dick Fisk and Sky Dawson never filmed together again despite their chemistry here.
