Kubrick's assistant, Anthony Frewin, wrote a novel that encapsulates this thread's premise

The chance discovery of a 30-year-old porn film leads back to the film’s maker, Tim Purdom, and the London of the late 50s and early 60s. Purdom was a pioneer of the British blue movie as well as a figure on the periphery of the Profumo sex scandal. He directed 8 films—but who was directing him, and what was their hidden agenda? And where is Tim now? London Blues is a provocative, totally original crime novel. For more than two decades, Anthony Frewin was assistant film director to Stanley Kubrick.

boiler room is a great film

"The Notorious BIG said it best: "Either you're slingin' crack-rock, or you've got a wicked jump-shot." Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There's no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee's, honor's in the dollar, kid. So I went the white boy way of slinging crack-rock: I became a stock broker."

It's a lost classic.

@Corpsey should watch it because it has an iconic Ben Affleck performance.
