Viewing Notes
Dipped back into my DVR for an old Russ Meyer flick I had recorded ages ago on TCM, Mudhoney (1965). This is decent little movie about how a family and town deal with a belligerent and abusive man but possibly unfairly convicted by the people. Weird flick for a Depression era film but it has a few layers and I dug it. Features one of the most gorgeous women to appear on screen, Rena Horton.
