The film is about his entire life and was very interesting and well worth the cost because for me Jack Wrangler was the hottest porn star ever, and its fun to know everything now. Also I purchased some of his older films, which are available on DVD. so here's to Jack, thank you for sharing all your beauty and talent with all of us, and for me, showing me how there are so many men from various backgrounds who enjoy each other, freely as they should. Although he was gay thru and thru, he still shared his beauty with woman in films, so ladies u may enjoy this as well, enjoy, kev

"Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon"
An Outrageous Story, A Wonderful Film
Amos Lassen
Jack Wrangler is an icon of both gay and straight porn. TLA Releasing brings us his story in a wonderful new documentary directed and produced by Jeffrey Smart. We watch Wrangler's rise to a major name in the adult film industry from the sexual revolution of the 1970's until he left the profession for the famous vocalist, Margaret Whiting and it is a fascinating and outrageous story.
In the 1970's gay liberation movement was coming into its own. We were influenced by the activism of gay heroes like Harvey Milk, Vito Russo, Larry Kramer and Jack Wrangler. At the same time, gay porn was becoming more and more accessible and popular. We must ask ourselves if this was because of the sexual revolution or did porn just succeed on its own? Surely the two are connected and it appears that the point of connection is the man who reflected and help define the macho gay culture, Jack Wrangler.
Born Jack Stillman, Wrangler grew up in Beverly Hills in a wealthy family. His desire to be in show business at a young age and as he matured, his desire grew. His father was a producer of "Bonanza" and Jack realized his sexual nature with his attraction to Michael Landon. Wrangler worked hard on his acting skills but found no place in show business so he began bartending and go-go dancing. He was invited to be a member of a gay male strip revue," Hot Jocks" and Jack Stillman became Jack Wrangler. He was cast in a show in which he took his clothes off and became a sensation and got gigs as a nude model and was on the first cover of "Mandate", a gay magazine that featured nude men. Shortly afterwards he made his first gay adult film and a star was born.
Gay men saw him as a hero and role model. He had been built by the industry. He was a man's man and gay men adored him. Wrangler crossed over to straight porn and although he admitted to be gay, he was able to participate in very hot heterosexual sex scenes.
While doing a one-man show in New York he met Margaret Wilding and they fell madly in love and have been married for thirty years.
In this documentary, Wrangler looks back over his life and career. He had invented himself and had great determination. Even though the porn industry is part of his past, people will always refer to him as a former porn star. The film has a series of interviews with Wrangler himself as well as with his wife, Whiting and former colleagues from the adult industry and others. This has to be one of the most fascinating and enlightening documentaries I have seen.
