This Friday night, July 10, DJ Fabio (of Strength Through Failure) hosts a screening of 'Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' (1970, directed by Russ Myer, written by Roger Ebert from a story by Ebert and Meyer) at our Monty Hall in downtown Jersey City!
An all-girl rock band moves to Hollywood in the hopes of achieving success, only to be lured by an eccentric music producer and his entourage into a whirlpool of wickedness and decadence. Originally intended as a direct sequel to 1967's Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was instead revised to be a satirical extension of the original.Monty Hall is located at 43 Montgomery Street in downtown Jersey City, mere steps from the Exchange Place PATH and light rail stations.
