Peary adds that &#8220;critic Roger Ebert&#8217;s script is smug and vulgar, and full of violence-against-female scenes (which Meyer films <em>seriously<\/em>) of the type he has crusaded against as a critic.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Peary expands upon his frustrations and disappointment with this film in his first <em>Cult Movies<\/em> book, where he starts by discussing Meyer&#8217;s two cinematic &#8220;phases&#8221; before <em>BTVOTD<\/em>: Meyer began as &#8220;King of the Nudies&#8221;, making a &#8220;fortune as the independent producer-director-cameraman-editor-writer-distributor of such cheapie harbingers of the Naked Cinema as the ground-breaking <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=1353\"><em>The Immoral Mr. Teas<\/em> (1959)<\/a>&#8230;&#8221; Next he made &#8220;infinitely more ambitious&#8221; &#8220;tongue-in-cheek potboilers&#8221; that &#8220;served as the basis for the pre-<em>Beyond the Valley of the Dolls<\/em> cult: <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=51229\"><em>Lorna<\/em> (1964)<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=51256\"><em>Mud Honey<\/em> (1965)<\/a>, &#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=45979\"><em>Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill<\/em> (1966)<\/a> &#8230; and [Peary&#8217;s] favorite, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=51316\"><em>Cherry, Harry, and Raquel<\/em> (1969)<\/a>.&#8221; Peary describes this second string of films &#8212; &#8220;set in rugged terrains&#8230; [and] inhabited by sexually driven buxom beauties&#8230;, strong-jawed, no-nonsense heroes, and an assortment of religious zealots, rapists, and sweaty lowlifes&#8221; &#8212; as &#8220;essentially fake morality plays, in which the numerous sinners either repent or are punished severely.&#8221; He argues that &#8220;as skin flicks, Meyer&#8217;s 1964-1969 films were far superior to those of his competitors&#8221;, given they are &#8220;extremely well-photographed&#8221; and feature &#8220;wild, absurd visual humor, dialogue that makes no sense&#8230;, and ridiculous plot situations &#8212; while his actors play their roles straight.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Peary goes on to say that while &#8220;to many moviegoers who hadn&#8217;t seen a Russ Meyer film, <em>BTVOTD<\/em> was a revelation &#8212; a film that they (mostly college students) considered to be their own &#8216;far-out&#8217; wave length&#8221; &#8212; Peary and others realized they&#8217;d &#8220;overestimated [Meyer&#8217;s] talents&#8221;. Peary refers to <em>BTVOTD<\/em> as &#8220;really a terrible film, energetically but poorly acted by ex-Playboy bunnies Dolly Reed and Cynthia Meyers, model Marcia McBroom, and under-emoting or overemoting stars.&#8221; He points out that &#8220;cryptic jargon and Meyer&#8217;s rapid-fire editing techniques&#8221; (your head will seriously spin!) &#8220;are meant to camouflage the picture&#8217;s emptiness&#8221; &#8212; but &#8220;the holes in the script come through&#8221;. He ends his scathing review (which I essentially agree with) by noting &#8220;there is little in [it] to recommend&#8221;, and that it simply &#8220;proved that what [fans] had seen in his early films were everything Meyer had to offer&#8221;; &#8220;by choice (!), Meyer returned to making independent sex films &#8212; in the <em>Vixen<\/em> mold but not as good&#8221;, which &#8220;unfortunately [was] the milieu to which he [was] best suited.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Colorful sets<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-1024x440.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"275\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-51199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-1024x440.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-128x55.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-768x330.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-1536x660.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets-604x259.png 604w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Sets.png 1651w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Far-out cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-1024x434.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"271\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-51200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-1024x434.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-128x54.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-768x325.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-1536x651.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still-604x256.png 604w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Beyond-the-Valley-of-the-Dolls-Still.png 1659w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, once &#8212; but simply for its cult status and notoriety. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cult Movie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0065466\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/68589\/beyond-the-valley-of-the-dolls#articles-reviews?articleId=1534476\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qnetwork.com\/review\/3745\">Q Network Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespinningimage.co.uk\/cultfilms\/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=679&#038;aff=13\">Spinning Image Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1970\/06\/27\/archives\/screen-beyond-the-valley-of-the-dollsfilm-seems-to-parody-his.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;This is my happening, and it freaks me out!&#8221; Synopsis: Three rock performers &#8212; Kelly (Dolly Read), Casey (Cynthia Myers), and Pet (Marcia McBroom) &#8212; travel with their manager Harris (David Gurian) to Hollywood, where Kelly&#8217;s Aunt Susan (Phyllis Davis) introduces her to wild parties led by Z-Man (John Lazar).
