Review of Myra Breckinridge (1970) by Chris G — 16 Sep 2008

I acctaully like this movie. The book was way better, if you ask me if they had just stuck to the book it would have been a lot better. The whole "it was all a dream." storyline was stupid and totally discredits the sequal to the book Myron.

So it's no wonder Gore Vidal disowned it. However I guess since it was the late 60's when it was made transgender women just wouldn't be understood just yet. I read somewhere that Candy Darling of Andy Warhal's factory was dying to land this part she did make a few screen tests but was left bitter when she lost it.

Saying this " I guess they thought Raquel Weltch would make a better transvestite." All in all the movie is anything but dulll, if you ask me the worst crime a movie can commit it's being dull.
