About this deal

Marks’ celebrity portraits were often done in conduction with interviews -conducted by Pam- with his film star subjects. Naturally, many of Marks' photos were airbrushed upon publication but most of these present are from original negatives, without retouching. Such was Marks apathy towards the publishing game that he was even selling his work to rival publishers like Russell Gay whose 1967 publication ‘Feline’, and ‘The Fabulous Monique Deveraux’, a one shot magazine from 1969, featured nude photos predominantly taken by Marks. In retrospect its tempting to view Long and Walker’s 8mm glamour films as a “stopgap” to the mainstream feature films that figured later on in their careers, with the early glamour films hardly being representative of their later work, particularly Walkers.

George Harrison Marks (6 August 1926 – 27 June 1997) was an English glamour photographer and director of nudist, and later, pornographic films.

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.

Vivienne was soon gracing the pages of Kamera and Solo, and was even persuaded to play a nude Martian in the sci-fi themed 8mm glamour film “Visit from Venus” (1964) and headline her own self-titled 8mm film “Vivienne Warren” (1963). Even more macabre is Marks' Perchance to Scream (1967) in which a Marks model is transported to a medieval torture chamber. The Hungarian actor wasn’t without his eccentricities though, which included going into a trance-like state before performances, while on another occasion Marks had been speaking to the star for around half an hour when Lugosi suddenly blurted out “vat is dis man sayinck? A forgotten hero in Marks’ early glamour films is Tony Roberts, a talented set designer who stopped by Marks studio one day to fix some sash cords, and ended up staying to design Egyptian Pyramids, Gypsy Camps, Chinese Gardens and Haunted Houses for nude models to cavort around.The cover you see above is issue 80, with model Louise Worth, and we have a few interior scans below.
