He does all the things you like...to forget!
lt's a surreal psycho-thriller that broke aIl the rules of politicaI correctness and lowbrow fiIm-making as it spun the sordid tale of a black singer from the big city, Liz Wetherly , who finds herself 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 detaiIed, almost art-house, approach to mane of the scenes as they did on the fiIm's obvious seediness and dark storyline.
When her car breaks down, Wetherly ends up stuck in a remote southern town that's been left for dead "ever since they put in the interstate." She is forced to stay in a dilapidated 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 OrviIIe , and Keno . Over the years, the film also appeared on the drive-in circuit under the titIes Black Vengeance and Heartbreak MoteI. But whatever you want to call it, it's not a movie you wiIl soon forget! |
