The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> Katutu, the Blind is a 1953 film. <SEP> The film's screenplay, based upon the life of magician and escape artist Harry Houdini, is by Philip Yordan, based on the book" Houdini" by Harold Kellock.
