Ed Wood is a filmmaker that went down in history as the king of schlock and wrote the textbook on how not to make a film. However, his films has went on to gain a cult following. Today I received word that his lost film, The Young Marrieds, will be released in a three film collection. Check out the press release below:
The lost 1972 Ed Wood adult film THE YOUNG MARRIEDS will be released to DVD November 11, 2014 by After Hours Cinema as part of a three film collection titled ED WOOD’S DIRTY MOVIES. The three films, THE YOUNG MARRIEDS, NYMPHO CYCLER and SHOT ON LOCATION, will also be available as single feature releases on supporting digital platforms.

THE YOUNG MARRIEDS has been described as a “thoughtful bedroom drama” as well as a “hardcore porno movie” by critic Adrian Mack – one of a handful of individuals who have viewed the film to date, including Ed Wood biographer Rudolph Grey – in an article titled Memories of Hardcore Ed Wood (read it here ) The film will screen along with NYMPHO CYCLER in the upcoming retrospective THE 10TH DIMENSION: EDWARD D.
