Product Description
Like most of cult director Russ Meyer's later films, his final ode to the superhuman bosom(written under the pseudonym "R. Hyde" by film critic Roger Ebert) largely dispenses with plot in favor of episodic sexual sight-gags. The ostensible storyline, narrated by Stuart Lancaster in hilarious deadpan style, deals with the bedroom hijinx of small-town America -- in this case the fictitious community of Rio Dio, Texas. Junkyard worker Lamar Shedd (Ken Kerr) is in trouble with his sexually ravenous wife Lavonia (Francesca "Kitten" Natividad) because he can only achieve satisfaction through unconventional openings. While Lavonia proceeds to bed down the local garbageman (Pat Wright) and others with more standard tastes, Lamar is put through a series of increasingly silly "cures," including a visit to a chainsaw-wielding gay dentist (Robert Pearson). Eventually, a radio faith-healer with enormous breasts (Anne Marie) gets him back on the right track. The amazing June Mack, who looks like she stepped straight out of a Robert Crumb cartoon, is the film's highlight as Kerr's insatiable black employer, Junk Yard Sal. The usual comic fight scenes are augmented here with different colors of blood for each character, but the high-voltage action of many earlier Meyer films is absent, as he was obviously trying to keep up with the booming porn market by including as many naughty close-ups as possible.

Meyer in a Small Town Setting, May 10 2012
By Bryan A. Pfleeger - Published on Amazon.com
The third installment in Russ Meyer's Vixen Trilogy was co-written by Roger Ebert and is concerned with the sexual antics of small town USA.Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens holds a special place in film history as the last ever, proper film directed by cult auteur Russ Meyer. It was scripted by critic Roger Ebert under a psuedonym from Meyer's story, but if you're expecting the over the top laughs of Ebert's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls then you may well find this film curiously laugh-free. It takes Meyer's particular style about as far as it would go, and although promising a sequel at the close ("The Jaws of Vixen"), it was the end of the line for its creator, unless you count the video documentary on Pandora Peaks he made about twenty years later.
Narrated by Meyer favorite, Stuart Lancaster, the story of Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens is about a small town named Small Town USA which, like the big cities, has secrets of its own. Even rural people can have unfulfilled desires that interfere with their regular day to day business. Lamarr Shedd (Ken Kerr) and his lovely lady Lavonia (Kitten Natividad) have a small problem with their sex life. Lamarr likes a sexual position that Lavona finds...shall we say, uncomfortable. Through a series of sexual misadventures with various townsfolk, they try to find a point where they can 'come together'...
The film features all of the things that made Meyer famous: large women, dumb men, scant storylines and memorable dialogue. The standard definition DVD features an interview with star Kitten Natividad and an insightful commentary by the late Russ Meyer.
