Product Description
LORNA: Ever wonder why wives wander? Without artistic surrender, without compromise, without question or apology, an incredibly sensual motion picture was made. LORNA. The story of a woman. LORNA graphically portrays the emotions of a voluptuous young wanton. Lorna, married for one year yet never fully gratified by her husband is left alone for too long, too often. But Lorna is a woman too much for one man, although loved by her husband, desired by another, she finds fulfillment in the arms of a brutal stud. Starring the outrageously abundant, cantilevered Lorna Maitland - the new standard of beauty by which all women shall be judged.
MUDHONEY: a film of ribaldry and violence, extracted from the juice of life featuring that girl from LORNA, the pneumatic LORNA MAITLAND, and the beautiful buxotic from Germany, RENA HORTEN, the embodiment of the body. MUDHONEY runs the gamut of emotions, love, hatred, sadism, a story never told so frankly so intimately. Also featuring the buxom LEE BALLARD, the flirtatious Sister Hanson, add the two country harlots, Eula and Clara Bell, and you, indeed, have too much for one town. MUDHONEY, passion debased by lust, leaving its taste of evil.
Review
LORNA unfolds as a sleazy and sordid tobacco road melodrama with extraordinary atmosphere, beautiful stark black and white photography, and a complimentary jazz soundtrack. The plot itself is rather straightforward to the point of simplistic, and the coincidences that further the plot are highly unlikely. Nevertheless, Lorna is a gripping tale that is always interesting to look at and contains genuine emotion, even as the characters and situations may be contrived. Lorna is a gripping display of sex and violence, leavened with quirky humor. How would you like Spam for breakfast and lunch? --Carroll Jenkins
MUDHONEY was the second of Russ Meyer s serious movies. If the opening credits are to be believed, it was derived from a novel called Streets Paved with Gold, and the very fact that Mudhoney lays claim to a literary basis, however obscure, betokens a considerable enlargement of Meyer s creative ambitions since the days of Eve and the Handyman and Heavenly Bodies. In many respects, this film can be seen as an expansion upon the themes Meyer explored in the somewhat earlier LORNA, for both pictures deal, in a markedly pessimistic manner, with the interpersonal havoc that ensues when a man with a criminal past inserts himself into a rancorously unhappy marriage. MUDHONEY simply takes matters further by widening the playing field to encompass the troubled couples entire town. --Scott Ashlin
