Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Movie Review 1970

Sleazy, spirited non-sequel to "Valley of the Dolls." Meyer ("Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!") directed this Hollywood parody ("BVD," as it came to be known) about an all-girl rock combo and their search for stardom. Labeled the first "exploitation horror camp musical"--how can you pass that up? Screenplay by film critic Ebert, from an original story by Ebert and Meyer. Mondo trasho.
