Censoring the Cinema: 'Obscene' Is Never Having to Say You're Sorry: Obscenity and the Court" by Tom Shales. The Washington Post 3 Mar 1974: E1.

Meyer also said later the thought "the film wouldn't have had the success it had" without Napier "in spite of the big boobs and seven girls. Napier, I think, has a quality that few actors possess: Wallace Beery, Borgnine, Alan Hale. There can be just a thin edge separating evil and humor and they work both sides of that line." Those years were very confusing to me," said Meyer. "But instead of rushing off and throwing myself out the window, I was able to psychoanalyze myself and discern what was best for me. I looked myself square in the face and realized I couldn't do everything." [5] As a groundbreaker cultural revolutionaire, Meyer was ever watchful for adding sly remarks about American Society. Especially insightful are these: Edy Williams, Myer's ex-wife, later sued unsuccessfully for a portion of the film's profits.

[8] Meyer said the film "was a little bit autobiographical" but also which "borrowed liberally from a number of people I knew". [8]

Meyer said he planned to shoot the film in R-rated and X-rated versions. He would release the R version, then later release a more explicit X-rated version. However the film would not include hard core sex. "I don't criticise hard core", he said. "I just don't dig it." [5] Scripting [ edit ] a b c d e f g h i j Morris, Gary (July 1, 2000).

He said he was also influenced by the stories of Horatio Alger. "They were always about a young man who was totally good, and he would always set out to gain his fortune and he would always come up against terrible people," said Meyer. "They did everything they could to do him in, but he fought fair, you know, and he always survived and succeeded in the end. So, that's just one facet of the thing." [8] Meyer said Supervixen wearing white was a tribute to The Postman Always Rings Twice. "She's good, pure." [8] He wanted to hint that Superangel maybe did not die in the bathtub but wound up reincarnated: Supervixens is a 1975 American film directed by American filmmaker Russ Meyer. [2] The cast features Meyer regulars Charles Napier, Uschi Digard, and Haji. The film also features Shari Eubank (in a dual role) in one of her only two film roles and Christy Hartburg in her only film role.
