Special Collection: Russ Meyer
Russ Meyer has opened a new area of thought and emotional stimulation which will surely be explored further by other Hollywood producers, in years to come.
To many theatre goers, Meyer is best remembered as the film maker who brought "The Immoral Mr. Teas" to the screen, and. . . by featuring nudity in a Hollywood production . . . broke through the barriers of conservatism and conventionalism. (As quoted from PLAYBOY Magazine, June 1967 issue.)
Other Russ Meyer successes include the trend setting "Lorna" - a woman too much for one man! Another, with a typically provocative title, was "Mudhoney" - a taste of evil. And those who saw "Motorpsycho" and "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" know the Meyer touch. Russ also directed the Berlin produced version of "Fanny Hill" - a woman of pleasure.
"The Dirty Dozen," one of Hollywood's most successful recent films, is based upon a personal recount of an actual war time episode which occurred while Russ served as a combat cameraman with General Patton's hard charging

Meyer usually worked with a small crew, which accounted for the unrestrained intimacy he drew from his actors, many of whom are "new to the game." Russ was proud of the fact that through his films he has aided many of them in furthering their careers. Filming in actual locations, often in available light situations, adds authenticity to Meyer's work.
