*** (out of 4)
This ten-minute featurette takes a look at the music in BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, the 1970 Russ Meyer film. Stu Phillips talks about being hired to try and get the cast members to look like they could actually play instruments. We get comments from cast members Marcia McBroom and Cynthia Myers as well as fans of the film and screenwriter Roger Ebert. Fans of the film will certainly enjoy this piece, which goes over the work it took to try and make it appear that the women knew how to handle their instruments. It also takes a look at the soundtrack and a few changes that had to be made on the record. There are quite a few good stories told here so fans should really enjoy what's here.
