This movie was on a cable movie channel that has a feature of showing horror movies, especially ones with sex, drugs and gore. So i was surprised when i saw that they were playing this movie about three 'clean-cut' girls and their flirtations with drugs. This movie is not exactly in the horror vein at all, but it was followed by Russ Myers non-pornographic masterpiece, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, so then i understood.
Valley of the Dolls, ("Dolls" referring to the uper's and downer's that they take) is a silly movie, that over dramatises the characters predicaments. In Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, people attempt suicide etc. because their lives really are terrible. In Valley of the Dolls how ever, the characters lives are hardly as grief-filled as their counterparts.
Russ Myers, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was intended to be a sequel to Valley to the Dolls, but eventually the script ended up being nothing like the original, and since there was soo much sex and gratuitous nudity, the writer of the original Valley of the Dolls started getting nasty letters, accusing her of losing her way and writing what was perceived as a sequel intended for fans of her movie (Despite there being a rather obvious warning at the begining of the film that it was no relation to Valley of the Dolls, and the original writer was not involved whatsoever).
So if you liked Valley of the Dolls, good luck to you. If you didn't (and your under 25 or so), check out Russ Myers classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
