Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

IMDB: This film is a sequel in name only to Valley of the Dolls (1967). An all-girl rock band goes to Hollywood to make it big. There they find success, but luckily for us, they sink into a cesspool of decadence. This film has a sleeping woman performing on a gun which is in her mouth. It has women posing as men. It has lesbian sex scenes. It is also written by Roger Ebert, who had become friends with Russ Meyer after writing favorable reviews of several of his films.

What I saw: Film started with a bang. Music was incredible. Would love to catch the soundtrack some day. I love the photography, the mood, the ambiance of the whole spectacle. Some very off cats in this one. I always knew Ebert was a little askew in his personal movie tastes but this one was a little odd for my taste. As my friend Alexandre said: This is a twisted cross between Silence of the Lambs and Rocky Horror Picture Show. 5 boobies out of 10 (hey, what can I say, it's a russ Myers film!!)
