The third film from our friends in Olympia gives us a murder mystery, a heady romance, gorgeous guys and plenty of nudity and sex!
Those guys up in Olympia, Washington just keep on turning them out. For Murder in Portland, the formula remains the same: cute young guys, several sex scenes, plenty of nudity, a romance and pro-gay politics. There is still some wooden acting, but the script is better this time, as are the photography and editing.
Our film opens as Mike (Baumgartner), a mute 18-year old teenager is being thrown out of his house, deep in the country, by his Baptist minister father for being gay. He wanders on the roadside and a very butch lesbian hands him a dollar so that he can make his way by bus to Olympia. They apparently have very low fares in the Pacific Northwest. In Olympia, he wends his way to an antique shop owned by business partners, Grant (Ashley) and David. Mike writes that he needs money and Grant offers some odd jobs and a meal. Their relationship quickly turns lustful as these two sweet young men fall into bed naked. The two guys wander over to Proffitt's Café (the center of action in all 3 films) where the gossip mill is started in no time. The next day Grant's partner David shows up back from his buying trip and heads off quickly to Portland to scout for a new store location. While in Portland he is murdered with a trick by an unknown gay basher - hence the title and drama of our film.
