	Russ Meyer's Supervixens
		Meyer’s camera does a good job of capturing the claustrophobia of the indoor locations used and an even better job of capturing the expansive and dusty deserts used for the out door scenes.
		Meyer does a good job of pointing out how many crew members made cameos as extras in the film, including his own appearance as the hotel operator towards the end of the film.
		Meyer also has no problem talking up the fact that his leading man, Charles Pitts, had the serious hots for co-star Shari Eubank (and really, can you blame the guy?) and that he was continually trying to ‘get in her pants’ and that she wanted nothing to do with him as a result.

		Meyer, whose popular image as king of the skin flicks suggests a leering bra-chaser, is in private intensely loyal to friends and family, and he would as soon have dinner with his ancient ex-sergeant as with a buxom starlet.
		Meyer uses his productions, I believe, to recapture the joy he felt during the formative and most enjoyable period of his life -- the war.
		Meyer is, of course, the most famous breast man of his generation, maybe of any generation.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Russ Meyer interview
		My first sight of Russ Meyer live was in 1974, when I interviewed him at his Hollywood office.
		Meyer has always been the complete auteur, doing everything on his films from the writing to editing to cinematography, even hauling his Arriflex camera up a hillside for one of the films.
		Meyer recalls their fights over how to play a scene, which inevitably ended with him reminding her that he had the last word, that they could shoot a scene many ways but he would construct it as he chose in the editing room.

	LA Weekly
		Meyer eventually found himself left behind by the hardcore tide, but not before he had produced one of the most coherent and idiosyncratic oeuvres in the annals of American cinema.
		From his breathtaking cinematography and editing to his saturated primary-palette art direction, Meyer’s filmmaking was at least as compelling (and, I would venture, equally erotic for its creator) on formal visual terms as it was for its fetishizing of primate mammalian mechanisms of epic proportions.
		Meyer continually revisited characters and motifs from earlier films, developing a layered, self-referential, self-contained mythic universe populated by stripped-down archetypes acting out moral, psychological and even spiritual dramas.

	Russ Meyer
		But no matter what the label, Meyer and the genre were an anachronism by the 70’s, innocent titillation in melodramatic satires shot down by Linda Lovelace and Marilyn Chambers who were screwing their brains out in hardcore movies aimed at ‘couples’ audiences.
		Meyer’s pet obsession(s) usually spilled out of a D cup, and there are no bigger boobs than the ones in Russ’s movies.
		And in the 70’s, Meyer’s last decade as a filmmaker, his brand of sexism and sexuality were relatively tame compared to the state of the American mainstream and the burgeoning hardcore industry.

		Russ Meyer, who died last weekend at 82, was a Hollywood outsider who crafted a formula for soft-core skin flicks that mixed zippy dialogue, slick production values and a cheerful parade of top-heavy sex goddesses.
		Meyer was an expert businessman who owned the rights to his movies, handled their distribution and converted his fascination with the feminine northern hemisphere into a brisk cash flow.
		Meyer never realized that particular fantasy, and another opus, "The Bra of God," was also lost to the dustbin of forgotten dreams.

		Meyer learned early how to get the "coverage" needed for a successful scene, and it is one reason why his freaky pictures have such energy and visual richness.
		Meyer had a penchant for taking his actors into depopulated backwaters, the viler parts of the Mojave desert, the sickest-looking river-delta towns he could find.
		Meyer died last year after spending his lonely, loveless last few years in a dirty house crammed with mammarabilia, his artistic estate in disarray, his once profitable business in the hands of what would seem to be shady outsiders.
