Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Original photograph from the 1970 film

Throughout the success of the new band the girls use drugs and alcohol attempt to maintain romantic relationships even a lesbian tryst with Erica Gavin director Meyer's "Vixen" and find "Z-Man" to be a murderous transsexual. <br /> <br /> The film proved to be sexploitation and exploitation to its psychedelic limits at the time was Meyer's biggest box-office draw to date and gave the director a new audience: mainstream filmgoers in mainstream cinemas. Originally intended as a sequel to <br /> "Valley of the Dolls" 1967 with an original screenplay by Jacqueline Susann Twentieth Century-Fox found the script unsatisfactory and sought new material.

Cherry Harry and Raquel Original French poster for the 1970 film
France: Eve Productions 1989. Original French grande poster for the 1989 release of the 1970 US film. Scarce. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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."<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 47 x 63 inches folded as issued. Near Fine. Eve Productions unknown

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 theaters in Arizona California Colorado Illinois Kentucky Massachusetts Missouri New Mexico Ohio and Tennessee. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> "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. <br /> <br /> 5.5 x 8.5 inches folded once as issued. Two horizontal creases and faint foxing else Near Fine. Art Theatre Guild / Eve Productions unknown

Supervixens Original Spanish poster for the 1975 film
Madrid Spain: RM Films International 1986. Original Spanish one sheet poster for the 1986 release of the 1975 US film. Features buxom Christy Hartburg who starred as SuperLorna. Hartburg along with Kitten Natividad and Uschi Digard has become one of the more recognizable faces of Russ Meyer filmdom even though this was her only film. <br /> <br /> Meyer's successful return to independent filmmaking after the big-budget "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" 1970 and the unfortunate films "The Seven Minutes" 1971 and "Black Snake" 1973. Arguably the most entertaining Meyer project with all the trademarks present: strong sexual women impotent men and healthy doses of sex violence and nudity with a nod to the desert violence of Italian Euro Westerns of the 1960s. <br /> <br /> Shot on location in Arizona California and New Mexico. <br /> <br /> 27 x 41 inches folded as issued.

Rubber-stamped on the versos MOTQRPSICHO sic FAVORIT indicative of the Cinema Favorit in Romania once the largest and most popular cinema in the country and one that operated even under the then-Communist regime. One lobby card also bears the imprint of the cinema on the recto. <br/><br/>Seen in the lobby cards is Haji as a voluptuous Cajun woman named Ruby and Alex Rocco as a veterinarian named Cory whose wife was raped by a sex-hungry motorcycle gang the same Vietnam Vet-led gang that killed Ruby's husband. <br/><br/>The last of Meyer's "noir" cycle 1964-1965 or "Gothic" period as Meyer puts it a series of sexploitation films shot in black-and-white with 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 "Lorna" 1964 "Mudhoney" 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. <br/><br/>"Motorpsycho!" was written by James Griffith who starred as the Preacher narrator in "Lorna" and the underrated Hal Hopper another Meyer regular. The film explores not only the ever present "biker" culture and its association with uncontrolled violence but the lasting effects of war or post-traumatic stress disorder particularly the Vietnam War; Meyer's statement on PTSD and Vietnam stands as one of the earliest inferences. <br/><br/>9.25 x 11.5 inches. One card is matte the other glossy. Very Good plus overall both with pinholes at the corners edge creases slight curling. Eve Productions unknown books
