»THE AD-VISOR: Thursday, June 26,1980Cinema ClipsBy Ken McMillanBENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRA-VIXENS. Russ Meyers 22nd movie centers on a handsome but thick-headed male, Lamar Shedd, whose sexual hangups are straightened out by his encounters with females of such unlikely names as Eufaula Roop and Flovil-la Thatch. Meyer s films feature buxom women as their stars and often have a raunchy rural humor similar to Erskine Caldwell’s “God’s Little Acre.’’ Despite their adolescent humor and unsophisticated characters, Meyer's films, such as “Vixen” and “Beyond the Valley-of the Dolls,” began to make skin flicks acceptable viewing for couples long before Linda Lovelace became a household word.

Their co-stars include actors Carrie (“Star Wars”) Fisher and Henry Gibson, along with musical stars James Brown, Cab CalBRONCO BILLY. Clint Eastwood continues his onscreen partnership with offscreen lover Sondra (“The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter”) Locke in this story of a struggling Wild West show. The music of country-western star Ronnie Mil-sap has taken the place of Eddie Rabbit's “Every Which Way But Loose,” but the flavor lingers on, including an appearance by Merle Haggard. Eastwood and Locke portray a pair of ill-matched, on-again/ off-again lovers as they attempt to become the '80s' answer to Tracy and Hepburn. PG.BRUBAKER. Robert Redford plays a prison warden who fights a tough battle to reform a corrupt prison. Co-stars include Jane Alexander, Yaphet Koto and Tim Mclntire. R.CAN’T STOP THE MUSIC.
