"King Leer" Russ Meyer's follow-up to the ground-breaking Lorna was this delirious 1965 rustic rube revue, originally titled Rope of Flesh. Based on the pulpy 1958 novel "Streets Paved With Gold" by Raymond Friday Locke, it featured Lorna's Hal Hopper (The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin) as a scheming, small-town drunkard who learns that his wife (the sole film credit of animal trainer Antoinette Cristiani) is tight with a handsome stranger in town (Meyer regular John Furlong). The Depression-era depravity also stars Rena Horten from teen comedy Out of Sight (1966), Lorna Hip, Hot and 21 Maitland, Meyer pal Stuart Lancaster (Thar She Blows!), and the one and only Princess Livingston (Pufnstuf).
