“Gives pure expression to Meyer’s free-associative, comic book-inflected sense of satire,” - Slant Magazine

No fairy tale…this! In 1976 producer / director/ cinematographer / editor Russ Meyer delivered his penultimate feature, one that went as far out as even Russ could think to go. Welcome to a sex-blasted NorCal burg where kinky Führers, ravenous piranha, sapphic ecstasy, murder mystery, Shakespearean appropriation and the remarkable Raven De La Croix collide, with Kitten Natividad (in her debut with Russ) as The Greek Chorus of it all. Co-written by movie critic icon Roger Ebert (who also lent his pen to BEYOND OF THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS), this uniquely perverse comedic detonation is Meyer at his most outrageous, and is definitely *not* to be confused with the Pixar cartoon.
