Best Meyer film I've seen

Meyer's done some rubbish, but this is a valid and interesting film with a social comment to boot. The usual images (naked women cavorting on matressless bedsprings or touching themselves while lying on rocks) which appear in (all?) his films are there. Sexually, it's quite tame (certainly compared to his Up!) but it's a far far better film than all of them. And quite erotic too. Dealing with racism, incest, communism, the IRA, this film has something for everyone. And the story makes sense (unlike Up! and some others). Erica Gavin is gorgeous (unfortunately her character isn't). This was her first movie and pretty much her last. There's a moving interview from 2005 amongst the extras that you must watch: in it she explains how she got such a shock when she saw herself on the big screen for the first time, that she became an anorexic. From the interview, it looks as though it's a disorder she may not yet have overcome. But it's a very moving piece, Erica seems to be a lovely person in real life.

Classic Meyer

I have to admit that this is not one of my favourite Meyer films. Don't get me wrong, of its kind, its a good film, but, despite the gorgeous Erica Gavin and the incest etc, it still seems a little tame for my liking! For proper Meyer, wacky, wild and more women than you can shake a dic... I mean stick at, get 'Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens'. Still a good early nudie sex romp.
