?Small town, cradle to the nation?

Disillusioned with the steady proliferation of hardcore pornography, Russ Meyer decided that enough was enough and so Beneath The Valley Of The Ultravixens became his final feature-length film. Structurally this film is much weaker than his earlier efforts (that?s saying something for a Meyer film) and at times it is far to repetitive for its own good (how many times do we need to look at a sign for a radio station?). However, Meyer fans will be pleased to hear that the women are still as voluptuous (though perhaps not as pleasing on the eye as in say Supervixens) and the dialogue is just as sharp. The narration is provided this time by Stuart Lancaster, which is fun but does begin to grate after a while. Meyer?s infamous manic editing is far less break-neck here but somehow that actually detracts from the film?s appeal. Overall this is an enjoyable, if rather messy, film and is a suitable farewell from the King of Sleaze. 3/5
