Character Analysis

My friend Jerry posted this photo over at VMM a couple of days ago.  It's a still from the AMG film Boys and the Snake Woman released in 1965.  Debbie Smith played the snake woman who tempts the boys with fruit, then transforms into a snake.  (Take that Cecil B. DeMille!)

The Mizer blurb states the snake belonged to Doug and Debbie was his ex-wife.  (Doug's ex, not the snake's.)  Yet, in another promotion for this film, we were told they were married to each other at the time.  To help confuse matters, Debbie was the ex-wife of Lou La Venture.  I know, it sounds like an episode of Dynasty.  

Here's the part that gave me pause.  Mizer helpfully included Subjective Character Analysis for both guys.  Ron's codes say he was married, lazy and charged a premium for his services.  Doug's characters state he was ambivalent in his choice of partners -- translation: he played with both teams -- and Mizer gave him the star of approval. 

Personally, I think Mizer mistakenly reversed the guys' codes.  Doug was the married guy and I know Mizer mentioned he was somewhat lacking in enthusiasm in some other issue of PP magazine.  Ron, on the other hand, was not married.  This was Ron's first film and he went on to make many more at AMG and Wyngate & Bevins.  In fact, Ron starred in Boy In The Gilded Cage, one of Mizer's first full nude films released four years after Snake Woman.  Lazy?  I don't think so.  Switch hitter?  I think that's quite feasible. 

Pet Photos Part 2

I recently posted this AMG photo of Ron and Doug with a snake named Diablo.  I stated then I didn't think this was from a film, but I wasn't sure. 

Well it turns out this is from a film and it was called Boys and the Snake Woman.  Missing from this photo is Debbie Smith, who happened to be married to Doug at the time.  The snake belonged to them and was often a guest at the AMG studio.  During the film, Debbie comes upon the guys in the forest and tempts them with fruit.  (Metaphor alert!)  Then she turns into a snake.  But the film was cut short because Diablo was not happy about any of this and he proceeded to s**t all over the floor.  

When Guys Argue Over Girls

Debbie Smith is the object of affection for both Steven Charles (blond) and Ron Taylor in the AMG film Something Worth Fighting For.  Both guys desire the lovely lass so they decide to wrestle each other with Debbie as the prize.  There's a little twist in the plot at the end.  

We were told Charles stood exactly six feet tall.  In these photos Ron looks to be a few inches taller than the handsome blond.  Although Mizer told us Ron was very nicely hung and often horny, he also had a temper that made him physically dangerous at times.  

Introducing Debbie Smith

I mentioned in some previous posts Bob Mizer would sometimes put a "real girl" (his words) in a film.  Here we have Debbie Smith in a couple of stills from the AMG film King's New Chamberman released in 1965.  The three guys were never identified and (to my knowledge) never did any other work for AMG.    

In one of AMG's Physique Pictorial issues, Mizer told us Debbie had married the popular AMG model, Lou La Venture.  Mizer thought the marriage was a bad idea and told Lou he should reconsider.  But the couple soon went ahead with their plans.  

A year or so later, Debbie and Lou got a divorce and she married AMG model Doug Scott.  Mizer told us that marriage was fraught with tension -- both on and off the set -- and I assume this was the reason Debbie, Doug and Lou soon disappeared from the AMG film brochures. 

I have provided Labels for both Lou and Doug if you're interested.
