Completely Amateurish Film-Making On All counts
8 July 2020
This is one brassy, sassy, little sexploitation flick that is so bad that it's almost good. (I said "almost" good)

"Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls" ("BVD", for short) is a pseudo-camp rock-musical/sex-comedy from 1970 that boastfully earned itself an X-rating upon its initial USA release. "BVD" was produced on a budget of $900,000. Within the first few months of its initial release it had grossed 10 times that amount in the USA, alone. Since then "BVD" has grossed well over $40 million world-wide.

"BVD's" story concerns the rise to mega-fame and fortune for an all-girl rock trio called The Carrie Nations who travel from the American Mid-West to make it into the big time in LA-LA Land (L.A.).

Perhaps you might enjoy "BVD" more than I did. For the most part, I found it unbelievably dumb, with everyone saying really-really-really (!!!) stupid things to one another, ad nauseum. Some of the "psychedelic" music wasn't bad, though.
