Cynthia Myers. She passed away at the age of 61 on November 4, 2011. She died of lung cancer [no jokes, please]. She was a lovely friendly and very beautiful woman inside and out; She will be missed.
Mulholland Drive got a lot of inspiration from this film, not the same plot, but theres something about both films...Decadence, Sexuality, Fame,Perversion
" 'Beyond the Valley of The Dolls' has all the elements: drama, love, mystery, music. But the most important element is..." ..the tits. It's Russ Meyer, people. It's the tits.
Beautiful People, one of the most campy films of all time. It was not made to be campy, but it ranks very high, just as Valley of the Dolls---------Both very campy
I have to admit, that being able to see every Russ Meyer film, I have to agree with Russ when he says that this film REALLY does lack the Meyer taste. Don't get me wrong it is a great film!
Is this on DVD now? I remember this movie, I was not allowed to go see it, or be in the room while it was being discussed, or in a room with someone reading the book, ha ha, a bible town, I was a child back then, & now that things are available, well I'd love to delve back into the past & know what the 'adults' back then were really doing. I am going to find this movie & order it right away!
I think the point is - this film is fantastic, visual and musical feast/trip. The moral preaching is meant to be totally tongue in cheek, and is a throwback to Meyer's voice of god documentary making days. I just imagine Russ Meyer and Roger Edgbert crying tears of laughter into the typewriter when they came up with this!!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! This trailer was the inspiration for the ending scene in the only play I ever wrote. All of a sudden in the last scene, there's this announcer and my female lead turns to her friend and says "Who is that talking?!" and he replies "Oh, that's the groovy, 1970's 20th Century Fox Trailer Voice Over Guy." "Well, could you tell him to stop! It's distracting!" LOL :)
I was too young to see this film when this film came out in 1970, so I had to settle for the feature in Playboy magazine that summer. The pictures were magnificent! I finally saw this film in 1998. It was very good. But I did not see Pam Grier(Her first film) or the beautiful Gina Dair, both of whom were in the Playboy issue. Maybe there is a special uncut version. Getting back to 1970, all of the boys in my summer camp were pleased to see Cynthia Myers. I was very pleased!
I notice in the video that Cynthia Meyers and Lance Rocke are making out while they are dancing. Since those two characters had no such relationship in the film, is it safe to assume the two were hooking up during the filming? If so, the guy that played Lance is one extremely lucky cat.
I always thought it was a travesty that, in Cynthia Myers, Russ Meyer had an opportunity to film at length one of the most awe-inspiring torsos of the late twentieth century, yet he barely shot Cynthia in the nude in "Beyond..." Oh, well. At least Playboy's December 1968 centerfold remains to remind us of what Russ failed to capture in extended motion. Aphrodite, thy name is Cynthia!
Come on people this film is inspired! Don't be so uptight man.
It is clumsy, awkward sexy, gregarious, disgusting and F%#king fun. Look at the fast edits and hilarious one liners in the party scene. The confused kitsch messages; Rape fantasy thrill (men & women) vs Redemption story. High Art!!!
Must say Cynthia Myers is so smoking hot in this trailer alone especially when she winked her eye. I wish those glamour photos of her shot by Meyers was available.
Originally given an x rating (which really had nothing to do with the implied sex. If you have seen it, you know why), it was later given an r rating. Nevertheless, a stupid movie which has garnered a cult following of sorts. Dolly Read's career went nowhere, and neither did anyone elses in the project. Williams somewhat survived it and is still out and about dressing and acting as if she is 45 years younger. Some of the pics I've seen of her as of late, gee lady, get a life!
It seems that only Harrison Page and Charles Napier who is still rolling strong in Hollywood. Yes you are right, Edy Williams is still running around thinking she is 25 while she looks like a crackling oil painting. The only gal that still looks hot is Cynthia Myers who is in her mid 50's
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Even now, nearly 20 years (and 20 times) since I first saw the movie, I am still mezmorised by every song and every nuance.
I think the worst thing about 2005, was the "half!" dresses modeled after this movie, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
The dresses were supposed to be full dresses, ladies, and I appologize for any strange looks, or bad looks I may have given you all for only wearing half of one. You obviously didn't see this movie.
This movie was a total trip. I just watched the behind the scenes clips for "The Valley of the Dolls", thinking that movie was the same as this one. I was in for a shock. I didn't recognize ANY of the people in that movie. "Return to the Valley of the Dolls" was the movie I origanally saw a while back. It's a freakshow for sure...
