MYRA BRECKINRIDGE

Country: USA
Year: 1970
Duration: 94'


myra breckinridge

This film, based on Gore Vidal’s cult novel, was ahead of its time, one of the most “scandalous” and muddled films of the ‘70s. Is brazen, buxom Raquel Welch Myra or Myron? Irreverent camp, sexual irony and a parade of stars that only the most shameless Hollywood could provide: from John Huston having fun as the uncle to the unforgettable Mae West, who was almost eighty years old at the time!
