Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no This article may need an appropriate infobox template.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

There's talk of the guy recieving as being somebody named DeVerne Bookwalter, not Tom Baker.

anyone know who's giving it to him? or at least if they're a girl or a guy? 64.178.97.206 08:52, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Willard Maas is stated to be the uncredited "giver" at IMDB Scottanon 16:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Another example of some moralist in wikipedia imposing their views on someone's work. This is not a "pornographic film" if it is absent depictions of genitalia, dirty words or other explicit protrayals of the act.

[edit] David Pelman Link

Why does the link for David Pelman redirect to this page? Should the redirect be killed? It doesn't provide us with any information about David Pelman. Scottanon 16:24, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Andy Warhol claims Pelman is the subject of the film (not Tom Baker). So that's probably why. We need someone who can find out for sure. --Bth 07:04, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Credits

There's some confusion in the Wikipedia community about who's actually in this film. Talk:Andy Warhol#Two corrections in film section lists David Pelman as the man reclining against the wall, not Tom Baker. This talk page and the Andy Warhol article itself suggests DeVerne Bookwalter. And although IMDB lists Willard Maas as "the giver" of said blow job, the camera never actually shows the act. I think a primary source should be cited -- someone who was present for the filming or knew about it -- to say if any actual fellatio took place and, if so, who was giving it, because we only ever see one actor on screen. // Montag 19:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I actually knew Bookwalter in the early 1980s (he was the boyfriend of a family member). I am 99.99% certain that the face in the film is his. But I'm not sure that I can edit the entry on the basis of that.David Epstein 14:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year of Production

According to Roy Grundmann's Andy Warhol's Blow Job, a friend tells me, this is a 1964 film. Text edited accordingly. Spetey 09:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
