Meyer proves he's a square at heart, that he prefers big breasts over good acting and makes undemanding B films.

Upon stopping in Spooner, Missouri, to find work, he becomes employed as a farmhand under Sidney (Hal Hopper) and Hannah Brenshaw (Antoinette Christiani), a married couple who are having difficulties. Sidney is a raving alcoholic who can't stay away from the house of Maggie Marie (Princess Livingston), a crazed old woman who prostitutes her two beautiful young daughters (Lorna Maitland and Rena Horton), one of whom is deaf. As Sidney descends deeper into alcoholic madness, love blossoms between austere Hannah and Calif. They have the blessing of father figure Lute Wade (Stu Lancaster), but it's certain that Sidney will not easily give up his wife. Uncharacteristically racy for its time, MUDHONEY is an artful Tennessee Williams-like melodrama. Though it contains the requisite "willing women" required for any Meyer movie, the film reaches higher levels of pure drama than any of his other works. Regarded by many to be his neglected classic, MUDHONEY is perhaps the best starting point for viewers who may be biased against Meyer's typical style. [More]
