Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Director: Russ Meyer
Year Released: 1970
Rating: 0.5

Awful collaboration between film critic Roger Ebert and sexploitation director Russ Meyer about a girl band who make friends with the wrong people. The characters do drugs, have sex and dance all while Meyer cuts, cuts, cuts to close-ups of grinning faces, white teeth and bright eyes, which belong to people who cannot act. Lots of trangressions, but no real meaning; it may be a parody of Susann's Valley of the Dolls but it is never funny or sexy.
