Vixen! (1968)
Country: US
Technical: Eastmancolor 70m
Director: Russ Meyer
Cast: Erica Gavin, Harrison Page, Garth Pillsbury
Synopsis:
A Canadian flyer running charters for outdoor tourists has a nymphomaniac wife who beds a Mountie, a woman guest and her own brother before overcoming her antipathy towards the local draftdodging negro.
Review:
Archetypal Meyer melodrama which set the pattern for the next decade, in that the use of montage became increasingly delirious, as did the angles from which his stars' breasts were filmed. The acting is characteristically hyped, Gavin flinging herself into her foulmouthed, tart-without-a-heart role with unrestrained relish, Pillsbury the epitome of square-shouldered, B-movie masculinity; the only credible personality is Page's as the negro. Perhaps even Meyer was too racially sensitive to ask for a caricature here; (in fact the dialogue shows some sophistication in the political issues it raises.)
