"Discoland... Where The Music Never Ends" (1980)

He was screaming at us “I’m a HOMOSEXUAL”, 45 yrs ago.

Jenner isn't gay. His woman cosplay is a fetish.

This movie is a disaster, but a mildly entertaining one.

C'mon it's a gay romp and a PG rated movie with full frontal male nudity.

Here is Valarie Perrine at CHILLER in Jersey telling Boy Cultures Matt how hard it was working with Nancy Walker. Who actually believes Nancy directed that Y.M.C.A. number, with the intricate shows, split screen, slow motion, optical effects, quick editing?

Met her that weekend too and you can see the early signs of Parkinsons with her shaking hand. She was lovely to meet. I have the DVD signed by her and Steve Guttenberg and the movie paperback novelization signed by Alan Carr, The Village People and then Bruce Jenner who did a book signing opening weekend in NY.

Valerie comes in at 4:53

Here is the full page ad Carr placed announcing production. The name and some of the cast would change.

One word: cocaine.

Diane wanted to portray Josephine Baker? Hell no!

You can have a tremor without Parkinson’s. it runs in my family

It's a ridiculous romp, although it's fun to be brought back to Greenwich Village at the time. And a flash of uber-Daddy Paul Baressi naked in a mainstream film!

True, but she has Parkinson's. I noticed it back then. She didn't hide it, it just was.

Pat Ast would've gotten the film an R rating.

R9 Wasn't Paul Baressi in "Perfect," not "Can't Stop the Music?"

That's the movie where he met John Travolta and they fucked for a while.

Pat Ast would have been the Marilyn Sokol part so Chita must have been June Havoc's part as Guttenberg's mother.

R12 - I thought it was the other way around regarding Perfect.

I thought Travolta got him that bit part as a result of them fucking.

R14 You're right. Baressi said Travolta approached him at the gym while he was naked in the shower.

They began an affair and Travolta got him the bit part in the movie where he strips down to his jock strap.

I think Pam Grier was high.

... at Chiller.

Dolores Hart and her female friends eating at the booth are really tacky.

I read also where Perrine says that Walker sat in her trailer watching soaps all day while “somebody else” directed.

Paul Barresi was still so hot atr15. He was doomed to full baldness and an enormous punch thereafter, but he was DILF locker room fantasy come to life at that moment.

R20 Yes, she talks about that in R4's clip.

In #4's link at the 05:45 mark, Perrine says she had Nancy Walker barred from the set and wouldn't work with her. I wonder if the film was just 'directed' buy assistants and choreographers, etc.?

I remember reading that director Mark Robson delegated a lot of the directing duties of VOTD to underlings. What could go wrong?

the Village People took turns directing and thought it would be funny to credit Nancy Walker.
