Product Information

Her illustrations defined Janus during the 80’s, creating an identity and sense of continuity for the magazine. The magazine produced a series of popular videos with high production values during the early 1980’s. e., the Chaplin, Keaton, and Harrold Lloyd classics that he paid homage to), which provided most of the package film releases of the day. As male models were very often difficult to find George sometimes took the male lead and soon became a dab hand at administering an over the knee spanking or wielding various instruments of punishment.

The first focussed on bondage, rubber and leather fetishism, the second on spanking (below) and the third on fetishism beneath the skirt. Marks provided nude photographs for photographic magazines on a freelance basis as well as selling his own stills directly. During this period, as well as writing some of the story lines, he took many of the still photographs that were subsequently reproduced in the magazine and continued to produce and direct home movies for Janus.After some discussion George was persuaded to become the editor and carried out that role for the next 18 months. At the time the editor of the magazine was Alan Van Okker who was in his late seventies and suffering from poor health.

Many of the subsequent movies that George produced were filmed using his own house as the setting and it soon became clear that schoolgirl spanking themes was where the greatest amount of enthusiasts' interest lay. He made short films for a British hardcore pornographer known only as "Charlie Brown", and began making hardcore versions of his own Maximus short films which were released overseas on the Color Climax and Tabu labels. The Headmaster’s Study Part One – Video Stars Featuring Rebecca (Brandi Bailey) Kirsten (Theresa) and Steve von Bickershausen as The Headmaster Kirsten and Rebecca sneak a couple of spanking videos into their religious education class and swap them for the videos about life in a convent. That makes it sound as if we were a boisterous class, but we were not, we were just normal healthy kids. His Kamera and Solo magazines ceased publication in 1968, with occasional single-issue magazines appearing subsequently.

Clips from The Window Dresser were used in a 1964 piece on the glamour film scene in the Rediffusion programme This Week. His last major film for Janus was ‘Warden’s End’ in 1981, which was shot in and around 40 Old Compton Street. His feature films as a director were Naked - As Nature Intended (1961), The Chimney Sweeps (his only non-sex feature, 1963), The Naked World of Harrison Marks (1967), [8] Pattern of Evil (1967), The Nine Ages of Nakedness (1969) and Come Play With Me (1977), which featured Mary Millington. The editorial team were overwhelmed with the response to the spanking special and published a further three spanking specials that same year. Playing the part of Mandy our new girl KaraJayne is spanked and thrashed with the cane by her headmaster Mr Barton, for playing truant – and boy does our new girl get her bottom caned hard, leaving her striped and swollen from the cane’s unforgiving bite.

George went on to make hundreds of glamour films and also later directed a number of feature films including Come Play With Me in 1977, which was produced by David Sullivan and starred Mary Millington. Kane 48 featuring Paula Meadows Kane 48 features Paula Meadows and Anne Proto in still from the Kane Video The Kane Assignment where Paula gets her bare bottom spanked caned and whipped severely with a riding crop.

Marks made ends meet during this period by continuing to shoot short films for the 8mm market and releasing them via his Maximus Films company. Also in 1980 ‘The Janus Club’ (subsequently renamed ‘The Privilege Club’) was launched and the name of Gordon Sergeant appeared in the magazine for the first time. The magazine was an immediate success and the business expanded to employ around seventeen staff by the early 1960s, selling a number of other magazine titles such as Solo, [5] postcards and calendars, and distributing imported French books and glamour magazines.

He formed a new company for the purpose entitled Derriere Limited and financed his new publication by raising a mortgage on the house he was living in. After a couple of false alarms it was announced that Toni was pregnant - George was to become a father and their daughter, Josie, was born on 15th December 1967. It’s important to acknowledge the enormous contribution Paula made to Janus and Februs over the years. As access to spanking related material became increasingly more easily available online the Janus publication schedule slowed down with only 4 to 6 new issues being produced each year.

It would of course be purely speculative to suggest that his judgement may have been influenced by a public school education and a consequent predilection for spanking material.
