Larry Levenson opened Plato's Retreat, the first and most famous heterosexual swingers' club in New York City. While it became a popular hot spot through the late '70s and early '80s, failure to pay taxes, Larry's constant desire for sex as the self-proclaimed "king of swing" and the advent of AIDS ultimately led to its downfall. All of it is captured in this documentary.

I had no problem with either link. Sounds like your computer is already infected.

No problems here either.

Which link are you referring to? The comingsoon.net link or the IMDB link?

I had no issues with either link. It would surprise me if these mainstream websites (comingsoon and IMDB) would have viral scripts. Better update those virus definitions!

Back on topic: Sounds interesting. Thanks for posting!
