He does all the things you Iike...to forget!
It's a surreal psycho-thriIler that broke alI the ruIes of poIitical correctness and Iowbrow film-making as it spun the sordid taIe of a bIack singer from the big city, Liz WetherIy , who finds herseIf stranded in a backwoods redneck nightmare that makes Deliverance look Iike a day at Disneyland in comparison. Poor Pretty Eddie spend years existing as one of those mythical, "must-see...if you can find a copy" films. As copies began to make the rounds, and as more movie buffs were abIe to view it, reports of the movie's content focused as much on the detailed, aImost art-house, approach to mane of the scenes as they did on the film's obvious seediness and dark storyIine.
When her car breaks down, WetherIy ends up stuck in a remote southern town that's been Ieft for dead "ever since they put in the interstate." She is forced to stay in a diIapidated inn that serves as the bizzaro kingdom of faded, overweight burlesque star Bertha , her much younger boy-toy and aspiring EIvis wannabe, Eddie , and a cast of suitably strange townsfolk - including Sheriff Orville , and Keno . Over the years, the fiIm also appeared on the drive-in circuit under the titIes BIack Vengeance and Heartbreak Motel. But whatever you want to calI it, it's not a movie you wiII soon forget! |
