Review of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) by Steve S — 16 Jan 2007

"This is my happening and it freaks me out!" With almost every line a perfect quote, Russ Meyers most accessible movie is probably his most far-out. With nymphomaniacs, transvestites, Nazis and Playboy playmates, all going out of there way to corrupt the virginal Carrie Nation and her rock band, you would have thought that the plot couldn't get anymore bizarre.

But it does! Oh yes, it does! And all to a cracking soundtrack from the Strawberry Alarm Clock, who also put in a cameo appearance. Films ain't as freaky as this anymore.
