What happens

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a 1970 American satirical musical melodrama film starring Dolly Read, Cynthia Myers, Marcia McBroom, Phyllis Davis, John LaZar, Michael Blodgett, Erica Gavin, and David Gurian. The film was directed by Russ Meyer and written by Roger Ebert from a story by Ebert and Meyer. Originally intended as a direct sequel to the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was instead revised as a satirical extension of the original. Beyond was met with negative reviews upon its initial release, but it became a box office success. The film developed a cult following in subsequent decades and has since earned critical reappraisal for its satirical and metafictional elements. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
