With his first movie for a major studio, Meyer simply did what he'd been doing for years, only bigger and better.

Time Out
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Caught in the right frame of mind, it offers plenty of groovy sights ... [but] the violent climax is highly problematic.

Creative Loafing
Rating: 8/10 --
The very definition of self-conscious camp, certainly not Art but much too intelligent for Trash.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't just a cult movie, it's the greatest cult movie ever made.

A psychedelic wow that serves up the free love, plunging necklines, androgynous boys, and lusty lezzies of the era with a narcotized abandon.

A funky, wonky, and entertaining jolt into the decade that bred free loving, hipster rockers, and hippies...

Product Description:
In Russ Meyer's BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, all-girl rock band the Kelly Affair moves to Los Angeles in pursuit of fame and fortune. Upon meeting wealthy rock scenester Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell (John Lazar) at one of his lavish parties, they believe they've met the man who can bring them fame. Changing their name to the Carrie Nations, they navigate their way through a maze of sexual misadventures, drugs, and brushes with some very unpleasant characters only to find that fame comes at a price. Livening up the considerably frantic proceedings are Meyer starlets Edy Williams and Erica Gavin (VIXEN), as well as an appearance by the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Finally invited to work within a major studio (20th Century Fox) following the enormous success of 1968's VIXEN, Meyer, along with screenwriter Roger Ebert, created the ultimate sex, drugs, and rock & roll film of the psychedelic era. An altogether odd mixture of comedy, drama, and left-field shocks punctuated with memorably wacky lines, BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS lets Meyer's reliably decadent formula mingle agreeably with the psychedelia of the time.
