A rather silly sequel to a movie that at least tried. It lost a lot of the enjoyable elements the first movie had. Sequels tended to be better around this time so it's rather surprising the lesser value.

Description: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a 1970 American satirical musical melodrama film starring Dolly Read, Cynthia Myers, Marcia McBroom, Phyllis Davis, John LaZar, Michael Blodgett, and David Gurian. The film was directed by Russ Meyer and co-written by Meyer and Roger Ebert. Originally intended as a sequel to the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls—"dolls" being a slang term for depressant pills or "downers"—Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was instead revised as a parody of the commercially successful but critically reviled original. ...

"3.18 Russ Meyer, 1970 It's fun, cool and stylish throughout and the soundtrack bumps. Runs a little long but the end is ridiculous. "

"March 9th Directed by: Russ Meyer It's cool in theory, like, all the elements are cool but it just kind of bored me for most of the duration. That is until the end, of course. Some of the music is really good, but other than that I really got nothing out of this movie. Blu-Ray."

"14.4. Järjestimme leffaillan, joten minulla oli hyvä tekosyy katsoa leffa ensimmäistä kertaa Criterionin BD:ltä. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls on edelleen erinomainen yhdistelmä bändileffahömppää, kevyttä seksploitaatiota ja lopussa tulevaa turbosekoilua. Näistä kolmesta pidän yllättäen eniten bändihömpästä, joten korkeat pisteeni selittyvät sillä. Värikkäät puvut ja svengaava meininki yhdistettynä bändiläisten esittäjien totaaliseen ammattitaidottomuuteen instrume"
