by Russ Meyer (director, screenwriter); Raymond Friday Locke (novel, screenwriter); Hal Hopper, Antoinette Christiani, John Furlong, Rena Horten (starring)
Los Angeles: Delta Films, 1965. Vintage pressbook for the 1965 film.
Based on Raymond Friday Locke's 1958 novel "Streets Paved With Gold." A melodramatic tale about a drifter who falls in love with his employer's married niece, a beautiful young woman with an abusive, alcoholic husband.
The first film in Russ Meyer's "noir" cycle (1964-1965), or "Gothic" period, as Meyer puts it, a series of sexploitation films shot in black and white, with powerful female characters, male impotence, and a serious dramatic plot involving less of the "nudie" filmmaking style so prominent in the director's early films.
Set in Spooner, (truncated)
