Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
It seemed like a good idea at the time– give the sequel to one of Fox’s soap opera hits to skinflick auteur Russ Meyer in the heady days of X-rated prosperity. Okay, it didn’t work out so well at the boxoffice, but it did give us a touchstone for big studio psychotronic insanity that has yet to be matched. This trailer is mainly a staged photo shoot selling Russ-as-auteur.
