Blow Job (film)

Blow Job is a silent film, directed by Andy Warhol, that was filmed in January 1964. It depicts the face of an uncredited DeVeren Bookwalter as he apparently receives fellatio from an unseen partner. While shot atframes, Warhol specified that it should be projected atframes, slowing it down by a third.

The identity of the person performing the act is disputed, though it is widely reported, by actor Gerard Malanga and others, to be avantgarde filmmaker Willard Maas. Warhol states in his book Popism The Warhol Sixties 1980 that five different boys performed the fellatio. In this book, Warhol writes that he originally asked Charles Rydell, the boyfriend of filmmaker Jerome Hill, to star in the film, promising that there would be five beautiful boys to perform the act.However, when Warhol set up the film shoot at The Factory on a Sunday, Rydell failed to show up. Warhol phoned Rydell at Hills suite at the Algonquin Hotel and asked where Rydell was. Rydell replied that he thought Warhol was kidding, and had no intention of appearing in such a film. When he declined Andy used a good looking kid that happened to be hanging around the Factory that day, who was later identified as Bookwalter. By that time, the five boys had departed, and Maas was pressed into service Warhols notoriously poor memory kept the five boys in place for the version given in the much later book POPism. ........
