Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls

In 1970, Twentieth Century-Fox, impressed by the visual zing King of the Nudies Russ Meyer had been bringing to bargain-basement exploitation fare, handed the director a studio budget and the title to one of its biggest hits, Valley of the Dolls. With a satirical screenplay by Roger Ebert, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls follows three young female rockers going Hollywood, in hell-bent sixties style, under the spell of a flamboyant producerwhose decadent bashes showcase Meyers trademark libidinal exuberance. Transgressive and outrageous, this big-studio version of a debaucherous midnight movie is an addictively entertaining romp from one of cinemas great outsider artists. - Criterion

"The very definition of self-conscious camp, certainly not Art but much too intelligent for Trash." - Agony & Ecstasy
