Lips Hips Tits Power: The Films of Russ Meyer

Persistence of Vision

by Doyle Greene

Russ Meyer is the breast-fixated filmmaker who started as a nude pin-up photographer and progressed through his own startling brand of B-cinema to direct probably the most bizarre film ever funded by a major Hollywood -studio- Beyond the Valley of the Dolls . Meyer's 1960s films-including Mudhoney, Motorpsycho! and the legendary Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! -are now venerated as modern classics, and Lips Hips Tits Power examines Meyer's entire cinematic oeuvre in -detail, affording it the serious analysis it undeniably warrants. Featuring famous girls from Meyer's repertory company such as Tura Satana, Kitten Natividad, Uschi Digard, Haji and Erica Gavin, Lips Hips Tits Power offers a visual feast of buxotic female flesh to offset its critical commentary, resulting in a book which operates on two-equally stimulating-levels.
