RETROSTUDS OF THE PAST:
FOCUS ON MALO, a/k/a ARNALDO SANTANA
posted by Madam Bubby
Malo is pretty much an icon in the Bijou Video filmography, as he appeared in Jack Deveau's Hand in Hand Films productions of A Night at the Adonis, Dune Buddies, and The Boys From Riverside Drive.

His scenes in A Night at the Adonis literally sizzle with electric sexual tension (both in the barber chair scene and in the orgy), and he wields in all three movies an stunningly beautiful uncut cock.

Not only is his cock stunningly beautiful. His overall physical beauty made quite an impression on many viewers when he appeared in the movie Cruising under his real name Arnaldo Santana. Yes, the controversial Al Pacino movie.
He plays Loren Lukas, the first victim of the psycho. Young macho beauty (especially his perfect bubble butt which could have been lifted from a Greek statue of Apollo) violently mutilated. The whip the psycho runs across seems almost ancillary in this scene which seems to find its orgasm in the knife penetrating the flesh, not a hole in the body. Check out the scene on youtube; go to about 11:30 to see Malo in his beautiful agony.

And, believe it or not, Arnaldo was a friend of Al Pacino, and Al got him a part in the movie Scarface, as Ernie. According to imdb, “his acting career took a nose-dive when the handsome, muscular Santana gained over 100 pounds and became a heavy-set character actor.” You can see him as Ernie (and yes, he is heavier) in this youtube clip.

Other than references to his roles in films (he also appeared in Rage of Angels), I have found no biographical information about Arnaldo Santana, but as Malo he is an iconic figure from that first period of gay liberation in the 1970s, when sex was popping out of every nook and cranny. What was hiding in the shadows became passionately, violently free.
