Vinegar Syndrome is releasing Russ Meyer’s FANNY HILL on Blu-ray December 10th along with Albert Zugsmith’s parody western THE PHANTOM GUNSLINGER!Cult filmmaker Russ Meyer takes on directorial duties in Zugsmith’s adaptation of the notorious erotic classic Fanny Hill. Set in pre-Victorian London, young Fanny finds herself taken in by a madame at one of the city’s most elite brothels. A strange mix of Zugsmith’s surreal slapstick and Meyer’s trademark buxom beauties and thoughtful satire, FANNY HILL is an over-the-top saga of low-rent thrills in high-brow settings.
Zugsmith’s mind-numbing blend of surrealism and slapstick comedy done as a self-aware parody of westerns stars Troy Donohue as Phil P. Phillips, fresh out of divinity school and living in the frontier town of Yucca Flats. When a gang of seven criminals take the town hostage, it’s up to Phil to save the village, or die trying, again and again…Both films have been restored from their original negatives and are being offered on DVD and Blu-ray fully uncut for the first time!FANNY HILL: Directed by Russ Meyer
