Review of Mudhoney

Mudhoney (1965)
9/10
One of Russ Meyer's best
20 February 2019
Calif (John Furlong) is released from prison and on his way to California (the place he was named after), but his way leads him to a small town called Spooner; where he starts to work on a farm and falls for the lady of the house, Hannah Brenshaw. Hannah is married to a brute named Sidney (Hal Hopper). Sidney constantly cheats on her, beats her and even rapes his wife when she denies him, yet she seams to forgive him or at least tolerate his actions. The film features many bizarre and wonderful Russ Meyer characters, including a beautiful deaf girl with her kitten, A crazy priest (played by Meyer regular Frank Bolger) and last but not least the unforgettably and ever so nutty Princess Livingston (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) as Maggie Marie; I love that crazy old lady. A truly funny and sexy slice of cinema and essential Russ Meyer film.
