The Naked Truth About Harrison Marks

Product Information

Marks was even gentlemanly enough to roll up his trousers to test the water, before allowing Pam to pose along the edge of the surf. The film gives the impression the crew just filmed whatever attractions they came across as the girls venture around the Minack Open Air Theatre in Porthcurno, Stonehenge, and various seaside towns, with narration that sounds suspiciously like its been quickly transcribed from tourist brochures with a few corny lines from Marks’ music hall days thrown in for good measure “that reminds me of that definition, even a girl who can’t add up can certainly distract”. Harrison Marks blew into his life sometime in 1964, Vivienne Warren remains perhaps the most complex, fascinating character in Marks’ story, even if she only puts in the briefest of appearances. Danger Girl” stars June Palmer as a stripping secret agent who is put into bondage by a Russian Spy, only for her to break free and throw him onto a circular saw in the grisly finale. In 1982 Marks left the Janus stable to set up his own fetish magazine Kane which also featured caning and spanking photos.

Harrison Marks came into this world at 4:30pm on Friday the 6th of August 1926, in Tottenham North London, his father Moss Marks, nicknamed “Mossy”, had seen action in WW1 suffering a horrific mustard gas attack, after the war Mossy tried to get into show business, eventually finding work as an actor’s agent. Adolf Hitler is sworn in as Chancellor of Germany in President Paul Von Hindenburg's office, in what observers describe as a brief and simple ceremony. After directing The Nine Ages of Nakedness, Marks endured a particularly turbulent time in the early seventies when he was made bankrupt (in 1970), was the subject of an obscenity trial at the Old Bailey (in 1971) and his drinking increased. He also produced and directed short erotic corporal punishment films for Janus for the then-emerging home video market. It would be wrong to think of Harrison Marks as a man who spends his days focusing on beautiful women” argues Valentine Dyall’s narrator, somewhat unconvincingly given amount of time the film dedicates to Marks snapping away at nudes either in his studio or on location (until rain stops play).

Marks’ celebrity portraits were often done in conduction with interviews -conducted by Pam- with his film star subjects. Some of Marks’ best remembered models from the era, Pamela Green, Cleo Simmons and the aforementioned June Palmer all contribute cameos. In Danger Girl, a stripping secret agent is put into bondage by a Russian spy; the agent breaks free, ultimately throwing her captor onto a circular saw. For a valuable and rare set such as this I suggest we use a courier such as DHL , which takes a few days for most destinations worldwide.

I did so, and he had no sooner set up his camera when a stranger strolled up, George rushed into the sea, gripped me by the shoulders and pushed me under. Fiesta even ran a monthly competition between the two sets of photographers, that saw readers asked to pick their favourite picture from that month’s issue of the magazine with a fifty pound prize for the winning photographer. Just to show there is more to the man than boobs however we get to see Marks judging a beauty contest and making an 8mm children’s film, with himself and Stuart Samuels as pirates.

Despite her tender age Vivienne did her best to play the domestic housewife, insisting on Marks investing in a virtual library of cook books. Equally memorable is Marks’ directing credit, which plays over a shot of the debuting feature film director puffing away on a cigarette on the same windy beach. No such complaints were forthcoming over Marks or Russell Gay’s photographs, nor their choice of models, with both photographers’ work given pride of place in the magazine’s scant colour pages. Once Marks got down to business, Practical Photography found him to be one of the fastest photographers they had ever encountered, forever changing his positions and angles, taking photographs from above his head right down to sand level, “often his shooting poses are as interesting as the models” they noted, going on to claim Marks in action resembled a human tripod.
