i saw myra breckinridge when it first come out in 1970. i be a healthy 20 year old at the time and who love movie and really liked raquel welsh . on top of that and i have read the gore vidal novel it be base on and think it be very funny . i saw the movie at a local drive in and about half way through i be sorely tempt to turn the motor of my car on so that maybe i would die of monoxide poisoning and not have to see the rest of this shipwreck of a movie . it wasn not smart or trendy and it be gross and sloppy . all the actor be tone deaf and the director do not have the slight idea what he be do . the casting of mae west be one of the bad casting choice in movie history . a one reviewer here say and her role have nothing to do with the movie or book . her character in the book be sexually beat up by the young stud and which would never do for the legendary ms. west . oh no and the plot be change so she sexually beat him up and very believable from a 77 year old woman who look every day of her age . i could go on and but why . it be an awful movie . bluto .
