Oh Happy Day!

I have a new photo of Jim Manning.  

Another One

A new (to me) photo of Jim Manning.  I'm not sure who photographed this one.  

OK...One I Know

I found a new photo of Jim Manning.  It's from Pat Milo. 

Let's Get Physical

My recent post of the Manning brothers prompted Brian to send me one Lyle Frisby photo I've never seen. 

Well I'll Be...

A photo of brothers John and Jim Manning that I've never seen until yesterday.  I recognize the setting, though.  The photo is from Lyle Frisby. 

The quality is not that good, but the subjects are. 

Don't Hate Me

I may have posted one or more of these images of John and Jim Manning in the past (and a whole bunch more) but the quality of these images is much better.  

First up is John.

Now it's Jim's turn.  That cap looks like something a gas jockey wore back in the days when they had uniforms.  I sure Jim offered full service.

I know I've posted this one in the past, but this image has been horizontally reversed. (Or maybe the other one I posted was reversed.)  Whatever.  It is a clearer image, either way.

And since they look like twins from the waist down I'll help you out.  That's Jim on the left.

All of the photos are attributed to Milo, except the one where the bros are in bed reading fan mail.  A reliable source attributes that one to Lyle Frisby.  

Oh Brothers!!!

I'm going to put this one down as "you learn something new every day".  This morning I found a thirty second clip of the AMG film Experimental Model starring all three of the Manning brothers, Joe, Jim and John.  In the clip the guys hold up a sign showing each or their ages.  John is listed as 25, Jim is 21 and Joe is 19.  The film was released in 1964 but more than one source stated it was filmed in 1961.  I know John was born around 1936, so the age given for John does correspond with that information.  I've been calling Jim the youngest of the three brothers for as long as I can remember.  But he's actually the middle child and Joe is the youngest.

Below is a group photo from the movie.  The guys are lined up chronologically.  That's Joe on the left, Jim in the middle, and John on the right.  It looks like I have some corrections to make on my blog.

My Wish Was Granted!

A while back I asked if anyone had a photo of Jim Manning's butt.  I had discovered I didn't and believed there had to be at least one photo, somewhere. 

Well, thanks to follower mikedc I no longer have to imagine what Jim carried in the trunk.  Mike contacted me when I reopened my blog yesterday and asked if I was still interested.  Of course I said YES and he quickly fulfilled my wish.  Thanks Mike! 

And I'll tell you what I told Mike: It's more lovely than I imagined.  

Jim in Briefs

In my continuing search for a rear nude of Jim Manning I came across this photo on the net.  I have a new-found appreciation for this guy.  I'm not kicking his brothers John or Joe to the curb, I just want to find more of Jim's photos and appreciate his fine looks.  

Anyone know the photographer for this one? 

If True...It's A Damn Shame!

Recently I had the pleasure of going through my photos of the three Manning brothers -- John, Joe and Jim -- and I noticed something.  I don't have any photos showing Jim's butt.  None.  I've got a few of John's muscular cheeks and a couple of photos of Joe's beefy butt, but not one photo of Jim's ass. In fact, I don't think I've seen one anywhere, ever. 

Are there no photos of Jim from the rear?  If so, can someone direct me?  This goal is now on my bucket list. 

Below are two photos of Jim.  The top one is from Lyle Frisby and the other one is a photo of all three of the brothers from the AMG film Experimental Model -- where we get a side glimpse of Jim's cheeks. 

Look What I Found

Another photo of Jim Manning by Lyle Frisby.  He looked really good in this photo session. 

Any day with a new photo of one of the Manning brothers is a good day for me. 

Slim & Smooth

Jim Manning, the middle one of the three Manning brothers, looks really great in these photos by Lyle Frisby.  I posted one of these photos in the past, but I thought you should see the other ones I have, too.  

A Rare Event

I couldn't resist posting this group photo of the full cast of the AMG film Pharaoh's New Slave.  One of the few photos you'll ever see where all three of the Manning brothers are seen together.  Usually, at least one of the brothers was occupying an LA county jail cell. 

From the left: Frank Renault, Richard Collier, Victor Gottlieb, Jim Manning, Joe Manning and John Manning.  

John, Joe and Jim Manning

My friend at Vintage Muscle Men recently posted the first photo in this series and correctly identified him as John Manning but did not know the name of the photographer.  

I also posted this photo a while back and my guess then was it's from Dave Martin, but I wasn't sure.  So today I went on a search to compare my photos of John Manning when he posed for various photographers on the west coast. 

After hours of research (😉) I think I may have a better idea of who did this one.  As I'll explain in this post I have a hunch this may be from photographer Lyle Frisby.  

The next two photos are John Manning (right) and his younger brother Jim.  (There was a third even younger brother named Joe whom I will reference later in this post.)  Both of these photographs are obviously from the same photographer and I have several confirmations they are from Lyle Frisby.  

I've also previously posted the next two photos of John and attributed them to Bruce of LA.  I have several confirmations that they are actually from Mr. Frisby. 

The next photo is once again John and his brother Jim and I'm going with Lyle Frisby.  I love the tan lines on these guys. 

Now here's a great photo of Jim Manning and I'm tempted to say it's from Frisby.  I can't find any attribute for this one.  I'm also tempted to say Pat Milo, since I know John posed for him and this one has a sort of Milo feel to it.  I will say Jim looks damn good in this photo.  

Here's a photo of Jim that I know is from Bruce of LA.  Jim looks like the cat who ate the canary.  And for you size queens out there (I'm raising my hand) Jim should definitely appeal to many of you.  

I couldn't resist posting the next photo.  It's from Bruce of LA and IMO it has many things going for it.  

Here's one I used as a screensaver for a few months last year.  It's John on the left with brother Jim in a similar position. (I assume they were studying for the LSAT.)  Once again, I'm going with Frisby.  

I remember the first time I saw this one.  I thought, "Well, they may not be twin bros, but they definitely had a remarkable resemblance."

And finally we move on to Joe Manning.  To my knowledge he only posed for AMG and did just four films -- two of them with his brothers.  Here he is with everyone's favorite bad boy, Bob Wilson (right) in the film The Trespasser.  

I would say Joe was the most conventionally handsome of the three bros.  He never did any nude work at AMG, so I can't say he was as blessed as John and Jim.  But, like his older brothers, he sure could pack a posing pouch. 

Jim Manning in Full Glory

My second favorite Manning brother.  Photo by Lyle Frisby. 

I really like this photo session.   

Frères Manning

Not the best photo of Jim (left) and John Manning I've ever seen, but this one clearly shows some of their best attributes...so to speak.  Thanks to Lyle Frisby, we got to see what was under the pouch.  

Jim Manning NUDE!

Jim Manning and his older brother John stopped by Bruce of LA's place and did a few sessions including these photos of Jim by himself.  As you can see, like John, Jim was packing some serious meat. 

Special Treat

From the left: Joe, Jim and John Manning -- all three of the Manning brothers -- in a still from the AMG film Experimental Model. 

Jim Manning

Jim Manning (John's younger brother) in a few photos by Bruce of LA.  Not only did Jim look a lot like his brother, below the belt they were nearly identical.  

I originally attributed these photos to Pat Milo.  I have now confirmed they are from Bruce of LA. 

Pharaoh's New Slave

Another photo from the epic AMG saga Pharaoh's New Slave by AMG in 1960.  This one had all three of the Manning brothers.  

Victor Gottlieb played the Pharaoh.  The two guys standing are Richard Collier (left) and Jim Manning.  Seated on the right is Frank Renault and the model seated on the left is Joe Manning.  

John Manning wrestled his brother Joe in this scene, but he must have stepped out for a pee break when this photo was taken.
