Film: Documentary Tales of Times Square

  • Tales_event_full

In his book Tales of Times Square, former Screw editor Josh Alan Friedman spins gritty, grimy gold from the quarter peeps and live sex shows in Times Square during the late-'70s and early-'80s. For the 21st-anniversary expanded re-release of Friedman's love note to the Forty Deuce's past, the Museum of Sex screens Paul Stone's 2006 documentary inspired by the book. Grainy Super-8 footage of smut-peddlers, protesters, and runaways connect the area's spotty past with its glossy present. You may even find yourself getting misty-eyed over the demise of the urban squeegee.
