Beyond the Valley of the Dolls


Short review: Girl group goes to Hollywood, they fall in with a bad crowd, and just barely make it out again. Funny, odd, a bit dated. With breasts, drugs, and violence. The music was much better than I'd have expected.

Directed by Russ Meyer from a Roger Ebert screenplay. Fox apparently thought they were getting a sequel to Valley of the Dolls at first, but the title card explicitly states this isn't one.

I kinda wish I'd seen Valley of the Dolls prior to seeing this.

D-cup (out of A-, B-, C-, D-, and DD-cup) schlock.
