The very definition of self-conscious camp, certainly not Art but much too intelligent for Trash.

With his first movie for a major studio, Meyer simply did what he'd been doing for years, only bigger and better.

Russ Meyer's ultra-lurid 1970 magnum opus, infamously penned by a young Roger Ebert, remains a towering achievement. What it achieves, however, is difficult to define.

An outrageously entertaining cult classic, and probably one of the most bizarre movies ever produced by a major Hollywood studio.

Like Valley of the Dolls, Beyond is a howler of a movie, with the crucial difference being that Meyer and Ebert intended it that way.

This trashy, gaudy, sound-stage vulgarity about low life among the high life is as funny as a burning orphanage.

Any movie that Jacqueline Susann thinks would damage her reputation as a writer cannot be all bad. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't -- which is not to say it is any good.

Besides being an addictively entertaining guilty pleasure from beginning to end, it's that rare movie that transcends its opportunistic origins to become a true singularity; a movie like no other.

Russ Meyer does mainstream, kind of.

A psychedelic wow that serves up the free love, plunging necklines, androgynous boys, and lusty lezzies of the era with a narcotized abandon.
