I finally found a DVD bootleg of this movie. I have been trying to see it for 40 years. Of course the version I found looks like it was struck from a third generation VHS copy but it is watchable and uncut. First and foremost the soundtrack is remarkable. Those familiar with Frank Zappa's early work will love it. It runs under most of the dialog and is highlighted in several areas. Mercedes McCambridge gives an A+ performance and is the lone talent in the cast. The screenplay is amateurish but honest. I particularly liked a scene where Mercedes states that "there ain't no blood on my hands" and continues in the same vein for about a minute. After her brother says, "No blood on YOUR hands" she repeats the exact same piece of dialog she just recited, word for word. Technically this is a much better film than several of Warhol, Waters and Wood's early works. The scenes are well thought out, framed and shot well. The audio is also of professional quality. I hope somebody obtains the rights to this film and gets a pristine version out on the market. The budget is nil but the actors all seem sincere and committed. This film deserves to be seen.
