myron breckinridge ( rex reed . ) get a sex change from a doctor ( john carradine dead drunk ) and come out a myra ( raquel welch ) . she then decide to destroy male masculinity ( or something like that ) and proceeds to teach film history at an act college run by lecherous john huston ( do not ask ) and break up a young happy couple ( young and handsome and hunky roger herr and farrah fawcett yes the farrah fawcett ) . they take a great novel by gore vidal that be unfilmable and and naturally and try to film it . they also hire an english guy with a decidedly anti american attitude and hire a bunch of actor with questionable talent ( welch and reed ) and embarassed old professional ( huston and carradine and andy devine and jim backus and mae west ) and throw it all together and . surprise . an absolute disaster . the film get an x rating at it release ( it be lower to an r ) and mostly because of a truly tasteless scene in which welch sodomize rusty ( roger herr ) and a scene in which welch attempt to have sex with fawcett . the movie be very scattershot . scene jump all over the place and people say and do thing that make no sense . it not good at all but i be never bore . act varies wildly . reed be horrible . really sad . huston chew the scenery again and again and again to a nauseating extreme . welch be actually not bad a myra but her line make no sense so you never know what to make of her . west be hardly in the movie ( a blessing ) and it really kind of sick to hear a woman almost 80 year old crack sex joke . roger herr ( whatever happen to . ) be very young and handsome and not bad a rusty . fawcett be ok. it hard to find thing to say about this . you just watch it in disbelief . a must see movie to believe .
