From a review of Big Bosoms and Square Jaws : The Biography of Russ Meyer, King of the Sex Film
I've long ago posted my praise of Russ Meyer. One day I'll figure out how to express my feelings for Tura Satana.
Thanks to its bonanza of interviews, Big Bosoms is probably the definitive book on the director, and by far the most entertaining. Film critic and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls screenwriter Roger Ebert offers a glimpse into his and Meyer's brief tenures with 20th Century Fox and their doomed attempt to make a movie with the Sex Pistols, while Vixen star Erica Gavin and Pussycat costars Tura Satana and Haji offer the gritty goods about working in front of Meyer's camera.
