Line #3 Trivia/BeyondTheValleyOfTheDolls


1	* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Creator/RussMeyer and Creator/RogerEbert based Z-Man on Music/PhilSpector, even though neither one had ever met him. They were told later that they captured him very well. Considering what happens in the climax, and what later happened with Spector and Creator/LanaClarkson, [[HarsherinHindsight they captured him far more accurately than they could have imagined]].
2	* BannedInChina: Probably owing to its extensive depictions of drug use, sexual content and sudden extreme violence in the ending, it got banned in Australia, Chile and Sweden. These bans would be lifted years later though.
3	* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
4	** Has been released in French-speaking territories under such titles as ''Orgissimo'', ''Hollywood Vixens au lait'' or just ''Hollywood Vixens''.
5	** The Japanese title is ''Wild Party''.
6	** In West Germany, it was ''Blumen ohne Duft'' (''Flowers With No Smell'').
7	* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: A UK release of the film by Magnetic Video proclaimed on the sleeve synopsis that "the female members of the group are played by voluptuous EDY WILLIAMS, DOLLY READ and CYNTHIA MYERS, with MARCIA [=McBROOM=]." Creator/EdyWilliams in the film is Ashley, who's not part of the band at all and is merely acquainted with them.
8	* DevelopmentHell: Creator/TheCriterionCollection special edition took over 25 years to get released (going back to the UsefulNotes/LaserDisc era). Criterion even filmed a panel discussion with the cast and crew after a film festival screening in 1990 to include as a special feature, but 20th Century Fox withdrew the release. 20-some-odd-years-later, Criterion approached Fox about ''Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'' again; this time the studio was willing to sanction such release. Under one condition: they had to buy 1967's ''Film/ValleyoftheDolls'' as well. Criterion put out special editions of both films on Blu-Ray in 2016.
9	* DivorcedInstallment: This was meant to be a true sequel to the original ''Film/ValleyOfTheDolls'', but Jacqueline Susann wasn't happy about not being involved in its production and thus sued the studio.
10	* DVDCommentary: Two commentary tracks accompanied the 2006 DVD release by Fox. One features Creator/RogerEbert, and the other features cast members John [=LaZar=] (Z-Man), Erica Gavin (Roxanne), Dolly Read (Kelly), Cynthia Myers (Casey) and Harrison Page (Emerson).
11	* ExecutiveMeddling: Russ Meyer was tasked with delivering an R-rated movie and cut more sex scenes from the film than he would have liked to in order to comply. The film got rated X anyway and Fox was okay with it. That being the case, Meyer wanted to add the sex scenes back in, but there was no time to before release.
12	* FakeAmerican: Dolly Read, who played Kelly, was English. Her American accent has a tendency to be somewhat inconsistent throughout the film
13	* HeAlsoDid: Creator/RogerEbert, of all people, concocted the story with Meyer and wrote the screenplay. This would later get invoked quite often as a negative example of LetsSeeYouDoBetter by people who took issue with Ebert's film reviews, but Ebert didn't consider the film an OldShame at all and often talked about it.
14	* LifeImitatesArt: Erica Gavin worked as a stylist for Fred Siegel and, later, spoke out about having a crush on Cynthia Myers, her onscreen love interest.
15	* NonSingingVoice: The vocals for the Kelly Affair/Carrie Nations' songs were provided by Lynn Carey and Barbara Robinson.
16	* OneBookAuthor: The only film credit for David Gurian (Harris). The actresses who played the Carrie Nations would almost count, were it not for bit appearances in a handful of other movies.
17	* PropRecycling: The dress that Kelly wears to Z-Man's first party was also worn by Creator/SharonTate in ''Film/ValleyOfTheDolls''. Dolly Read was reportedly emotional at wearing it.
18	* RomanceOnTheSet: Edy Williams (Ashley) married Russ Meyer shortly after the film's release. The marriage lasted from 1970 to 1975.
19	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
20	** Susan Lake and Baxter Wolfe are the biggest remnants from when the movie was supposed to be a straight sequel to ''Valley of the Dolls'', as they were originally Anne Welles and Lyon Burke. This is rather obvious from how their shared history matches up with Anne and Lyon's fates in the ending of that movie. This means that Kelly was almost a SpinOffspring (sort of, since she's Susan/Anne's niece instead of daughter).
21	** A scrapped subplot had Casey attempting to get into acting, only to be faced with the CastingCouch. Scenes of this were actually filmed, but they were cut and are now presumed lost.
22	** Ashley St. Ives' name was Ashley Famous in earlier drafts (Ebert took the name from a talent agency and when the suits weren't amused, he went with St. Ives instead). She also would have been an erotic novelist instead of a porn star.
