Playing to Win
1996, English. Directed by John Travis.
A jaunty, tongue-deeply-in-cheek celebration of a gay version of The American Dream--the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (translate: sex). Playing To Win is about guys on the rise--a upwardly mobile crowd who seem to be up, up, up all of the time. Our tale follows the adventures of two good buddies--Steve Sax, a very rising young entrepreneur who has almost everything--money, looks, a body to die for and a cock that could kill, and Pagan Prince, a television sports reporter who personifies the idea of minimum effort for maximum effect.
