Mudhoney
Often exhibited in grindhouses and “art” houses under its original title Rope of Flesh, this was nudie-cutie auteur Russ Meyer’s second dramatic effort following his groundbreaker, Lorna. It’s a violent rough-and-tumble rural melodrama overflowing with lots of, um, pulchritude. The Meyer stock company (Stuart Lancaster, Hal Hopper, etc.) is back, along with various pneumatic lovelies and some memorable grotesques. A true independent, Meyer pioneered the expansion of the US censorship envelope through his own inimitable directorial and editing style.
