myra breckinridge (1970)

"Well, never mind about the six feet — let’s talk about the seven inches."
Myron Breckenridge undergoes a sex change and becomes Myra (Raquel Welch). She then decends on her uncle Buck's (John Huston) acting school, pretending to be Myron’s widow, in an attempt at obtaining half of his estate. While she waits she also plans a spot of blackmail on the young acting student (Roger Herren).
A big-budget adaptation of Gore Vidal’s satirical novel, which tanked even before it got off the drawing board! Though the stylised visuals, costumes, the old movie clips intercut into scenes, and Mae West's one liners make this a camp classic.
