Medium Cool (1969)

Cinematographer Haskell Wexlar set out to combine fact and fiction while directing Medium Cool (1969), in which TV news cameraman Robert Forster is shaken from impartiality during the turbulent ’60s. Wexler ended up with plenty to work after his film crew started shooting amongst the wild street protests of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. This stellar sleeper makes good use of a very cool lead actor. All the revolution isn’t on the streets, either. Mariana Hill turns around and shows off every inch of her swinging ’60s sauciness as she leads Forster on a quest for peace, love, and nookie in her apartment.

During that nookie quest, we’re treated to some vintage Forster, young, lean and lewd.  First he’s smoking in just his tighty-whiteys.  The outline of his special delivery package clearly displayed.  Soon enough the undies are gone and he’s chasing his lady around their apartment in his birthday suit.  His skinsquisite seat and delicious dangler transform the scene from silly to sexy.
