Three girls come to Hollywood to make it big, but find only sex, drugs and sleaze.
For me, Russ Meyer is one of the big innovators of cult cinema. His perverse caricature of American life at the time runs through all of his movies, often revolving around attractive ladies with big boobs. But that's not to say that his films are chauvinistic, indeed many feature feminist statements that are graphically clear to the viewer. In Russ Meyer's world it's fine for the women to be powerful, as long as we can look at their bodies while they're doing it.
This film surrounds the corrupting music industry and is not actually related to Valley Of The Dolls directed by Mark Robson, other than possible inspiration for the basic idea.
