    While director Russ Meyer isn't perhaps the first film maker you'd go to for a morality tale, his work has an interesting take on the struggle between good and evil, often within the same character. The theme is how one man's evil can bring a whole community down to his level.

    Not content with having one buxom blonde in his film, Meyer added the two sexually available sisters who wear low cut dresses open to the navel. Their purpose is pure titillation, as they don't advance the story any, and simply provide temptation for the male members of the cast, so an extra half-star for that.

    Being a Russ Meyer movie, it's full of extreme characters and craziness. And big boobs.

    'Mudhoney' Good, Sticky, Sleazy Trash

    What else would you expect from B-movie meister Russ Meyer? Hal Hopper as Sidney Brenshaw is one of the slimiest, most loathesome screen characters ever.

    Meyer makes some fascinating films, really! They are so removed from the ordinary Hollywood films, and the subject matter is very mature. A great depiction of spreading evil. And yes, there are boobs in it.

    I love this Russ Meyer flick almost as much as Faster Pussycat. The crazy dude in the suspenders rules and Lots of 60's hillbilly titties. Also a killer story. Kinda like a "B" Grapes of Wrath.
