Review of Mudhoney

Mudhoney (1965)
9/10
Russ Meyer actually made a good movie?

Warning: Spoilers
I didn't know Meyer could actually make an excellent drama, but I was surprised by this one. After seeing Faster Pussycat, Beyond the Valium of the Dolls, and Seven(?)Minutes, I expected the same retarded writing, acting and editing, but Mudhoney is well written, acted and doesn't have that ridiculously fast editing his other movies have.

I think the fact that Mudhoney was taken from a novel, with the novelist doing the screenplay, accounted for the quality of this flick.

Towards the end, one scene flowed into the next with some incredible performances from the actors playing the husband and the preacher.

I haven't seen Lorna yet, but I guess it's similar to this one.
