This bizarrely exotic brainchild of sleaze maestro Russ Meyer and celebrated film critic Roger Ebert can best be summed up as the movie of the 60s that Robert Altman's "Nashville" was to the 70s. "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" is a distillment of the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll age that starts out harmless enough, before revealing its darkside in the form of violence, disillusionment with fame, and offbeat parody referencing everyone from Phil Spector to the Mandon Family cult.

Trashy melodrama every bit as cartoonish and over-the-top as the earlier movie 'Valley of the Dolls'. Better sex scenes though. John Lazar is the funniest part as a psychotic parody of Phil Spector.

Perhaps the most sleaze-tastic Russ Meyer film, but I haven't seen that many. Anyway, fans of Meyer can't pass this up - neither can exploitation fans. A true cult classic.
