Meyer Russ director story; Tom McGowan screenwriter; Larissa Ely Linda Ashton Charles Napier Uschi Digard starring
Cherry Harry and Raquel Collection of 9 original photographs from the 1970 film
California: Eve Productions / Panamint Films 1969. Collection of 9 vintage black-and-white studio press still photographs from the 1970 film. Included is a manila envelope with the film title in holograph ink on the front from the Pussycat Theatres in Hollywood a chain of theaters that operated throughout California from the 1960s to the 1980s specializing in pornographic and sexploitation films. This type of theatre was presumably a more consistent outlet for Russ Meyer and similar filmmakers than those that featured mainstream Hollywood films. A small-town border sheriff and marijuana smuggler sets out to kill a rival drug dealer while his girlfriend has a dalliance with another woman. The first Meyer film to feature full frontal male nudity a rarity even in sexploitation films at the time and quite the introduction to soon-to-be Meyer's regular Charles Napier. Meyer shot several new sequences late in production about a quarter of the film's runtime either to replace footage lost by a photo lab or because an actress left the shoot early the reason is disputed. The new sequences unrelated to the original ones give the film an almost surreal quality leading Roger Ebert to call it "possibly the only narrative film ever made without a narrative." The film was one of the most successful of Meyer's career leading him to return to and refine this style in subsequent films peaking with Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens in 1979. 8 x 10 inches. Light edge and corner creasing else Near Fine. Eve Productions / Panamint Films unknown

Meyer Russ director story; James Griffith screenwriter; Lorna Maitland Mark Bradley James Rucker Hal Hopper starring
Russ Meyer's Lorna Lorna Original program from the 1964 film
California: Art Theatre Guild / Eve Productions 1964. Original black-and-white program for the 1964 film printed for the Art Theatre Guild. The Art Theatre Guild ATG began in 1961 as an independent agency distributing films mostly Japanese rejected by major studios. The company operated until the 1980s with theatres in Arizona California Colorado Illinois Kentucky Massachusetts Missouri New Mexico Ohio and Tennessee. The first of Meyer's "noir" cycle 1964-1965 or "Gothic" period as Meyer puts it a series of sexploitation films shot in black-and-white powerful psycho-sexual female characters male impotence and a serious dramatic plot involving less of the "nudie" filmmaking style so prominent in the director's early films. Other films in his "Gothic" period include "Mudhoney" 1965 "Motorpsycho!" 1965 and the epic and legendary "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! " 1965. "Fanny Hill" 1964 snuck in right after "Lorna" although that film is generally left out of the "Gothic" period. "Lorna" was written by James Griffith who stars as the Preacher narrator of the film and stars Lorna Maitland as a voluptuous sexually unfulfilled newlywed. Her husband Jim Rucker works in a salt mine all day and studies all night giving Lorna too much time to herself. One day while Lorna skinny-dips in a nearby river an escaped convict Bradley rapes her in the reeds. The vile act could otherwise have been exploited perhaps comically by Meyer but here the scene acts as a catalyst for one repressed woman's sexual awakening. Lorna invites the convict into her home while her husband is gone prompting Jim's coworkers among them the underrated Hal Hopper to tease him about Lorna's infidelity. Things take a bitter fatal turn when Jim returns home to discover Lorna and her object of desire. 5.5 x 8.5 inches folded once as issued. Two horizontal creases and faint foxing else Near Fine.

Meyer Russ director screenwriter; Ken Parker still photographer; Bill Teas Ann Peters Marilyn Wesley Michele Roberts Dawn
The Immoral Mr. Teas Mr. Teas and His Playthings Collection of 8 original still photographs from the 1959 film
Los Angeles: Pad-Ram Enterprises 1959. A collection of 8 vintage still photographs from the 1959 film. Included are 4 stills from the US release and 4 stills from the UK release under the title "Mr. Teas and His Playthings." From a cursory glance one can immediately see the differences with regard to nudity paid by both US and UK publicists the UK stills decidedly more liberal with regard to the "forbidden flesh." The US stills were taken directly from scenes of the film and the UK stills appear to be from either a deleted scene or a mock setup designed for foreign publicity with Mr. Teas seen in a bathhouse with the "Buxom Bath House Beauties" Baby Dahl Chicky Fricase Frenchie Tost Teri Clawthe that were not seen in the final cut. The UK stills purport "Monstrous Murder!" and "Sizzling Suspense!" taglines however the final cut features neither murder nor suspense. The story finds the shy Mr. Teas played by William Ellis Teas a door-to-door dental appliance salesman who has a chemical reaction with an anesthetic that allows him to have X-ray vision as in "seeing through women's clothes." He also overcomes all of his inhibitions leading to ribald encounters with his dental nurse his therapist his secretary a girl in a bar etc. Russ Meyer's first feature produced by Pad-Ram Enterprises a monogram using the initials of director Russell Albion Meyer and producer Peter A. DeCenzie and the film that basically launched the lighthearted "nudie" pictures of the early 1960s. The film was immediately touted as "ribald" and "Frenchy" with regard to the "genuinely sexy sequences with generous expanses of attractive flesh" that used to be seen strictly in foreign films. At a time when Hollywood moguls were losing audiences to the comfort of in-home cinema through television Meyer and DeCenzie who spent years on the burlesque and night club circuits released an independent naturally sexy endeavor in the tradition of the great Chaplin films. The bigger productions companies would never have made a film as far overboard on sex. For his debut Russ Meyer did even more of the crew work than usual shooting in four days during the spring of 1958 with a budget of $24000 ultimately making over $1.5 million worldwide. The film was marketed as a "nudist" film with a "French" sensibility but exhibited all the distinctive traits for which Meyer would soon become known including large bosoms insane plots a somewhat feminist perspective campy dialogue and guerilla cinematography. Shot on location in various California destinations including Malibu Lagoon State Beach. Meyer even shot various scenes at his beach-front home in Los Angeles. All stills 8 x 10 inches some differ slightly in size. Two US stills Very Good plus others Near Fine. UK stills Near Fine. Pad-Ram Enterprises unknown
