Broad Daylight/Shine On Sweet Starlet
Two films by underground legend John
Michael McCarthy that every true
devotee of low-life culture must see!
Beautiful burlesque performers and an
eclectic garage/trash/exotica soundtrack
makes for perfect entertainment. Shine
On Sweet Starlet is a grainy black & white
self-described "punk rock stag loop". It's
kinda like finding some forgotten Irving
Klaw mail-order film from way back when.
I prefer Broad Daylight, which has the
feel of a long lost scopitone (except cooler
and with better music). No way can I
single out one performance, especially
with the likes of the incredible Kitten
DeVille, Lucha Va Voom's Ursulina,
Mademoiselle Kitty Diggins, the amazing
Fishnet Floozys (Anna Bells & Nikki
Novak), Super Teenage, and magnificent
Varla covergirl Mimi LeMeaux (to name
but a few) to choose from. JMM is a
worthy successor to the legend of Russ
Meyer.
