Anyone hear of this Director, Russ Meyer? After Army service he began directing porn films, black and white with busty models.
This was early 1960's when status of porn was unclear. Myers helped make porn more mainstream and accptable, aided also
by Miller v Calif., etc.. At that time porn was less explicit than today's product, it was more tantalising and teasing. He used
the model Pandora Peaks in his latter years. He was an interesting guy and there is a lot about him on Wikepedia. He is
well worth checking out as a character in the history of porn.

^I'm sure nobody here have heard of him, hahaha...
Seriously though, you're right, well worth checking out for anyone interested in vintage B-movie smut.

pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world

Meyer on VHS was my introduction to exploitation and eventually the 70s porn classics.

Great to see his films finally getting good releases on discu by Severin. Supervixens is one of my favourite films by him and it was in the first round of releases. Highly recommended.

Hopefully we get Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill!; Lorna; Mudhoney and Mondo Topless soon as well.
