Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

beyond the valley of the dollsIFC is a wonderful thing. If you missed their recent showings of Russ Meyer’s Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, you owe it to yourself to see it somehow. The movie is utter madness. With a soundtrack that wavers back and forth between hip and laughably square, and a torrent of absolutely ridiculous dialogue (supplied by screen writer Roger Ebert!) this is the ultimate six-pack movie.

Speaking as someone who, as a kid yearned for someone to drop acid in the Brady Bunch’s water supply, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is the perfect antidote to all of that Sherwood Schwartz 60s wholesome television goodness.

Behold!


Wanted: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls LP

beyond-the-valley-of-the-dolls

For reasons not even J.R. “Bob” Dobbs could possibly understand, I’ve become fixated with finding an LP copy of Russ Meyer’s Beyond The Valley of the Dolls soundtrack. I know I could order this from some schlub on eBay in all likelihood, but I’d rather deal direct with someone who ISN’T charging $75 for it. I want to LISTEN to it, not put it under glass and fondle myself while LOOKING AT IT.

If you have a copy you want to sell, drop me a line on Twitter, I’m at Twitter.com/Turntabling. Thanks in advance!
