Vintage oversize borderless reference photograph from the set of the 1970 film, showing actresses Erica Gavin and an uncredited model, with cinematographer Fred J. Koenekamp behind the camera at the far left. With the film's French 1975 release title, "Orgissimo" at the bottom right. After nearly a decade as one of America's most successful independent filmmakers, sexploitation auteur Russ Meyer first reached out for the brass ring of major studio success with this frantic and most entertaining cult favorite, once described by Meyer and screenwriter Roger Ebert as "the first exploitation-horror-camp-musical." The film follows three members of an all-girl rock band called The Kelly Affair who relocate to Hollywood in search of fame and fortune. Their success comes at the price of their friendship and integrity, however, and the girls eventually succumb to a nonstop train of decadence, drugs, and betrayal. Featuring one-hit wonders the Strawberry Alarm Clock, supporting performances by Meyer regulars Charles Napier and Haji, and a bit part from future Blaxploitation icon Pam Grier, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" proved to be Meyer's biggest box-office success. Set and shot on location in Hollywood. 12 x 9.5 inches. Near Fine, with light wear to the corners. Criterion Collection 836.

Vintage studio still photograph of Edy Williams and David Gurian from the 1970 film. Based on an original story by Roger Ebert, who also helped write the screenplay. Three girls come to Hollywood to make it big with their rock band, "The Kelly Affair," stopping first to visit Kelly MacNamara's (1966 Playboy Playmate, Dolly Read) estranged aunt. Kelly's aunt introduces the band, comprised of Kelly (Read), Casey Anderson (1968 Playboy Playmate, Cynthia Myers), and Petronella Danforth (Marcia McBroom), to a flamboyant producer named Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell (John LaZar), who changes their name to "The Carrie Nations" and has them perform at one of his orgiastic parties after a set by Strawberry Alarm Clock. Throughout the success of the new band, the girls use drugs and alcohol, attempt to maintain romantic relationships (even a lesbian tryst with Erica Gavin, director Meyer's "Vixen"), and find "Z-Man" to be a murderous transsexual. The film proved to be sexploitation and exploitation to its psychedelic limits at the time, was Meyer's biggest box-office draw to date, and gave the director a new audience: mainstream filmgoers in mainstream cinemas. Originally intended as a sequel to "Valley of the Dolls" (1967), with an original screenplay by Jacqueline Susann, Twentieth Century-Fox found the script unsatisfactory and sought new material. The film was released, as part of a settlement with Susann, with the disclaimer "This is not a sequel to VALLEY OF THE DOLLS." One of few X-rated films released by Twentieth Century-Fox, another being "Myra Breckenridge" (1970). Pam Grier got her start in this film, as an uncredited party attendant. Meyer regulars like Charles Napier, Lavelle Roby, and Haji, all make appearances. Set in Los Angeles. 8 x 10 inches. CONDITION. Criterion Collection 836. Meyer US.
