Young is not quite the noble soul some thought--he's an astounding control freak. But he is never less than fascinating. "As ruthless as I may seem to be," Young tells McDonough, "you gotta do what ya gotta do. Just like a f-----' vampire. Heh heh heh." --Tim Appelo]]> 35285 4.10 525 92 210973 0307338444 9780307338440 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172727445m/210973.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/210973.Big_Bosoms_and_Square_Jaws_The_Biography_of_Russ_Meyer_King_of_the_Sex_Film 4.07 30 Wall Street Journal called the King Leer of Hollywood, made movies that filled the big screen with “big bosoms and square jaws.” In the first candid and fiendishly researched account of the late cinematic instigator’s life, Jimmy McDonough shows us how Russ Meyer used that formula to turn his own crazed fantasies into movies that made him a millionaire and changed the face of American film forever.

This former WWII combat photographer immortalized his personal sexual obsession upon the silver screen, creating box-office gold with The Immoral Mr. Teas in 1959. The modest little film pushed all preexisting limits of on-screen nudity, and with its success, the floodgates of what was permitted to be shown on film were thrust open, never to be closed again. Russ Meyer ignited a true revolution in filmmaking, breaking all sex, nudity, and violence taboos. In a career that spanned more than forty years, Meyer created a body of work that has influenced a legion of filmmakers, fashionistas, comic book artists, rock bands, and even the occasional feminist.

Bringing his anecdote- and action-packed biographical style to another renegade of popular culture, New York Times bestselling author of Shakey Jimmy McDonough offers a wild, warts-and-all portrait of Russ Meyer, the director, writer, producer, and commando moviemaking force behind the sexploitation classics Vixen, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and many others. Big Bosoms and Square Jaws blows the lid off the story of Russ Meyer, from the beginning to his recent tragic demise, creating in the process a vivid portrait of a past America.]]> 35285 4.10 525 92 395832 1556524951 9781556524950 9 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174417922m/395832.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/395832.The_Ghastly_One_The_Sex_Gore_Netherworld_of_Filmmaker_Andy_Milligan 4.43 21 35285 4.10 525 92 7356655 1441726640 9781441726643 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7356655-tammy-wynette 0.0 0 35285 4.10 525 92 7152565 0670021539 9780670021536 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7152565-tammy-wynette 0.0 0 35285 4.10 525 92 7041741 0641840292 9780641840296 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7041741-big-bosoms-and-square-jaws 0.0 0 35285 4.10 525 92
