Vixen (Erica Gavin) and her bush pilot husband, Tom (Garth Pillsbury), live in the remote Canadian Northwest. A young, robust woman, Vixen eagerly finds ways to temper her fiery libido while Tom is off picking up passengers in his plane. Also a racist, she takes pleasure in ridiculing conscientious objector Niles (Harrison Page), a black American friend of her brother's. When Tom brings Dave (Robert Aiken) and Janet (Vincene Wallace), an attractive young couple, to the lodge overnight for a fishing getaway, Vixen takes carnal advantage of each of them. Tom, meanwhile, is oblivious to his wife's libidinous activities. Later, when Tom gets a seemingly benevolent customer who wishes to go to Toronto, all seems fine. But when the customer turns out to be dangerous, Niles might be the only one who can help, proving Vixen to be unfounded in her prejudice in the process. Brimming with female nudity but not graphic in its representation of sexual activity, VIXEN was popular not only with the raincoat crowd but also with adventurous couples. Within a brief 70 minute running time, director Russ Meyer manages to fit in not only numerous sex scenes (including a taboo-breaking scene of guiltless incest) but also themes relating to racism and the then-raging war in Vietnam.

Equally popular with both male and female viewers, Vixen is a take-charge woman who gets what she wants.

The film that showed Meyer to have the most dynamic editing style in American cinema, and took him from nudie king to national monument via the most outrageous exploitation of bosom buddydom ever.

The dialogue of this film alone, without any visual accompaniment, would presage a much more explicit film, not to mention its entertainment in and of itself.

Russ Meyer's 1968 skin-flick is a hilarious, stylistically adroit compendium of middle-American preoccupations: breasts, fishing, anticommunism.

Gleefully silly, Meyer's skin-flick proved a landmark in American cult cinema by blending non-stop soft-core with asides on racism, draft dodging and Cuban communism.
