After many readings, Myra Breckinridge continues to give wicked pleasure, and still seems to have fixed the limit beyond which the most advanced aesthetic neopornography ever can go.
If "Myra" is one of the worst movies of all time, where you would rank it in the top ten? This was the same problem that occurred with "Candy" two years earlier (which also had John Huston!) and that is: a controversial movie based on a novel from a talented writer (which was Terry Southern). I heard a rumor it was this film that got Fox co-boss Richard Zanack fired and one historian believed this was not only one of the worst films of the 1970's but also of the 60's as well.

It is not witty. It is simply crass and embarrassing.

I am a gay man and this is too kitsch and camp even for me.

Is this one of those that's so bad that is good? The over acting is terribly funny.
