One of the "artier" homo adult films of the early '80s, Roger Earl's much-discussed Men of the Midway gives us a glimpse into the world of traveling circuses, pre-condom coarse trade, and a uncommon opportunity to watch porn director Paul Baressi in front of the camera.

In an eye-and-crotch popping segment, Baressi is a cigar smokin, filth mouthed (in the one and the other senses of the word) to featured star pup Chris Burns. Baressi gives his chap a pair of whore slaps in advance of tying and lubing him up, and probing his wazoo with a succession of growing-in-size dildos and selling him off to hookerville.

Burns runs off with the circus, hoping for a greater quantity tranquil life. Wrong-O move, bucko. The horny Tim Kramer takes the youthful buck in, and pawns him off to a large dark fellow, who bonks Burns underneath the large top within an inch of his life. It's one of the film's superlatively good scenes.

Next up is a surreal segment in some other tent involving Burns, Kramer and a pair of carny leathermen. Kramer tries extorting cash from the circus owner, who in turn pawns him off on a group of performers who, fed up with Kramer's deeds, toss him around like a rag doll, feeding him their large 'n perspired tentpoles of love in a oozy, cum-eating climax.

The story drags, and the "arty" photography sometimes annoys, but the sleazy sex and cum-dumpings make Men of the Midway a very whack-worthy look.
