Description:What's needed to make money making movies? The answer, according to cult hero, creator of the sexploitation film & the man the Wall Street Journal once dubbed the King Leer of Hollywood, Russ Meyer, is: 'big bosoms & square jaws.' In the 1st candid researched account of the late cinematic instigator's life, McDonough shows us how Meyer used that formula to turn his own fantasies into movies that made him a millionaire & changed the face of American film forever. Bringing his anecdote-&-action-packed biographical style to another renegade of popular culture, NY Times bestselling author of Shakey Jimmy McDonough offers a wild, warts-&-all portrait of Meyer, the director, writer, producer & commando moviemaking force behind such sexploitation classics as Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Vixen & Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. This former WWII combat photographer immortalized his personal sexual obsession (enormous breasts) upon the silver screen, turning his favorite hobby into box-office gold when this one-man movie machine wrote, directed & produced a no-budget wonder called The Immoral Mr Teas in 1959. The modest little film pushed all preexisting limits of on-screen nudity. With its success, the floodgates of what was permitted to be shown on film were thrust open, never to be closed again. Meyer ignited a revolution in filmmaking, breaking all sex, nudity & violence taboos. In a career that spanned over 40 years, he created a body of work that has influenced a legion of filmmakers, fashionistas, comic book artists, rock bands & even the occasional feminist. Rich with wicked & sometimes shocking observations & recollections from Meyer's friends (e.g. colleague Roger Ebert & filmmaker John Waters), lovers & leading ladies (some of whom played both roles with equal vigor), a cadre of his combat buddies, moviemakers inspired by him, & critics & fans alike, Big Bosoms & Square Jaws tells the voluptuous story of Meyer's singular life & career: his troubled youth, his war years, his volatile marriages, his victories against censorship & his clashes with the Hollywood establishment. This new biography of a true maverick blows the lid off the story of Russ Meyer, from beginning to his recent tragic demise, creating in the process a vivid portrait of a past America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
