Product Information

He stayed on to do other films, and later won two Oscars for his costumes of Cleopatra (1963) and Cromwell (1970). When Bizarre met bazooka-breasted Kitten Natividad she was full of frolicking fun as when she starred in Russ Meyer’s final film Beneath The Valley Of The Ultra Vixens.

Roman (credited in Germany as Laetitia Roman) stayed for some more German ‘comedies’ such as Heirate mich, Cherie/Marry me, Cherie (1964, Axel von Ambesser) with Paul Hubschmid, and An der Donau, wenn der Wein blüht/When the Grapevines Bloom on the Danube (1965, Géza von Cziffra) with Hansjörg Felmy.

She was a bit of eye candy in the thriller Der Tod im roten Jaguar/Death in the Red Jaguar (1968, Harald Reinl) starring George Nader as G-man Jerry Cotton.She also appeared in one of the Karl May westerns, Old Surehand/ Flaming Frontier (1965, Alfred Vohrer) featuring Stewart Granger and Pierre Brice as Winnetou. Despite the naughty subject matter, the low cut dresses and legendary co-star Miriam Hopkins, the film is described by Hal Erickson at Rovi as ‘messy romp’: “His acute self-promotional skills aside, Russ Meyer never really learned how to direct; his "style" consisted of seconds-lasting closeups wedged into badly composed long shots, substituting speed and energy for skill. That year she also played a prostitute in the erotic farce Fanny Hill (1964), featuring Letícia Román and directed by sexploitation master Russ Meyer.

Gary confirmed to me that he hasn't received the DVD checkdisc of The Seven Minutes yet, and will update the review when it arrives.Jan Onderwater notes in his review on IMDb: “Social attitudes were changing in the late 60's and the film history attributed to these changes. Co-scripted by film critic Roger Ebert, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a merciless satire of Hollywood and the music business, a no-holds-barred psychedelic thrill-ride that gleefully stirs sex, drugs, rock’n’roll, fashion, lesbianism, transvestism and Nazis into one of the most riotously unhinged mainstream films ever made. This special edition also includes the rarely-seen The Seven Minutes (1971), Russ Meyer’s Hollywood swansong, an adaptation of Irving Wallace’s polemical novel about the absurdities of American obscenity laws. But given the film's extreme rarity, coupled with the equally extreme unlikelihood of anyone giving it a separate release, we decided it was worth doing anyway.
