Not a "cult classic", but almost...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Myra Breckinridge (DVD)
It's amazing that a studio backed this mess of a story/film and released it, thinking that it would be a hit among anyone. This premise is just too out there for the average, "make me feel better and affirm my own biases" film-goer. With that said, because it's sooooooooo over the top and messy, it's quite wonderful. Mae West gets off some great one-liners, and my god, any film that can feature Mae West surrounded by dancing black men as she's rapping (YES, I said 80yr old Mae West RAPPING!!!)truly is something wonderful! Oh, and miss Welch has maybe the second best bed-hair in cinema (#1 is Miss Deneuve in Belle Du Jour, tres parfait bien sur!). Myra Brekinridge isn't for everyone, but approached with the right spirit, you'll love it!

Soo bad that I could not watch it all!,

This review is from: Myra Breckinridge (DVD)
Don't get me wrong: I love bad movies! I've watched the Ed Wood, Jr. movies more than once, I've enjoyed the attacking Tomatoes, I really dig movies that are dated, out of style, that feature actresses who've become drag queen icons etc. In all, I was able to sit through thousands of movies (from the works of Ingmar Bergman to the trashy titles that one finds in the $1.99 bin at your local GT) in my sad but interesting life! But there are only two movies that I have stopped watching in the middle and this is one of them (the other being Shock Treatment-1981). Heck, I even survived Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.If I'd get this movie, it would be for the extras. The tale of human failure is often much more interesting and revealing...

WHAM! BAM!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Myra Breckinridge (DVD)
..... and 'Thank ya'all'This extravaganzic curiosity made it to DVD in various guises ....this one ain't bad. BUT I'd visit the novel before plunging into this somewhat contemporary vision of Hollywood across the hills ...[nuffin's really changed!] RAQUEL/REX are suitably paired with 'his and & her' accoutremonts .... painfully coiffed and coutoured for this 'vision' as is LEGEND MAE WEST ~ still firing those 'zingerz ' from various anatomical points, but al least the darling diva was not 'wired for sound' as she was later in "Sextet" - a babe sorely missed - also her grand wit and style! Other points of note - babyfaced [yes he was] TOM SELLECK is part of Mae's entourage, and an almost unrecognisable FARRAH FAWCETT debuts as the love-object's [the rather dim young hunk] Not forgetting a brave and quite funny JOHN HUSTON .... nice to see this other legend of showbiz spoof tinseltown. NOPE, THIS ONE's A QUAINT HALLUCINATION - worth driving through occasionally - with the appropriate gear!
