Review of Vixen! (1968) by Cj C — 28 Aug 2006
Vixen (Erica Gavin) is a woman whose bark is probably much worse than her bite. When she isn't spewing racist diatribe at her brother's (Jon Evans) black friend (Harrison Page), she's cheating on her naive husband (Gareth Pillsbury) with both men and women.
Given this is a Russ Meyer film you'll be unsurprised to hear that Vixen combines fast dialogue with even faster female nudity. A wide range of "hot" political topics at the time are given the Meyer treatment with everything from racism to Communism to Vietnam draft dodgers gleefully exploited. Again the rapid fire wit and Gavin gives a wonderfully seductive yet acid-tongued performance. Ranking up there with Supervixens and Faster Pussycat, Vixen finds the King of Sleaze on top form.
