Best Little Warehouse In L.A., The

**The Best Little Warehouse in L.A**. is a nice showcase for some of William Higgins' best little cocksuckers. Terrific sex; not so great production design. (Not up to par with the acclaimed director's latter-day efforts, that is.) Plenty 'o pre-condom era cumsplats, replete with blue-collar buttboys, spanking, and some nicely thick pre-rubber era facial glazings. Like I said, the tech credits (and horrific clothes and early 80s disco) will make you shudder; the cum and fuckings will get you squirming with delight. There's a good selection of nice tight jeans shots as well. Hot diggity!
When originally released in theaters this William Higgins classic had three scenes removed from it to allow for more daily showings. A 16mm print containing the director's original cut was discovered and restored. The movie portion runs 66 minutes, with the final 14 minutes padded out with three quite hot solos performed in the titular warehouse. (The jackers are, in order, Michael Christopher, Mike Dean and the young, skinny and really well hung Lance Whitman.) These were part of the film's original release and are included here as well, bringing the total running time to a tad over 80 minutes. The first re-release was in April of 2004, and was not as successful a transfer as earlier Catalina/Laguna Pacific efforts. Channel 1 Releasing has rectified this. While shot on film rather than the more crisp-looking digital video of today, the film is still very dark in spots, and the print used was only okay. The photo gallery is once again a real gallery, not screenshots, and there are trailers for newer Catalina titles.

While not a true "Collector's Edition," it's a nice package for the most part. Some guys consider **The Best Little Warehouse in L.A.** to be one of the director's greatest; I respectfully disagree. Regardless of any quibbles, this is a pre-condom era must-see, and certainly for Higgins collection completists it's a must-own.
