Historia
In the 1940, Francis headed for Hollywood to start an acting career. His plans were initially interrupted by the Second World War, during which he served in the medical detachment of the 49th Field Artillery Battalion, 7th Infantry Division. He played minor parts in several films from the late 1940s to early 1970s.
In 1959, Francis formed a partnership with Anthony Cardoza, a welder by trade, and together they created three films: The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961), The Skydivers (1963) and Red Zone Cuba (1966). Francis wrote and directed the films, while Cardoza handled production duties.
Rotund Drunk
La historia sobre los problemas y ventajas de un trio femenino de rock para conseguir un lugar en el panorama de finales de los sesenta... En su primera película para un gran estudio, Meyer simplemente hizo lo que había venido ofreciendo durante años (esto es: chicas neumáticas, diálogos delirantes e incorrectos -escritos por el famoso crítico de cine americano Roger Ebert-, además de sexo y drogas por doquier) pero a lo grande. Así consiguió, pese a su clasificación X, uno de sus mayores éxitos.

Set in the sordid underworld of drug trafficking and prostitutes, this story involves Charlie Smith, private eye, whose job it is to find Carrie Friskine and fast! Carrie, a cat burglar, has ripped off the ring-leader of a drug racket and now he's after her blood.
Long considered a cult classic, "Mondo Hollywood" captures the underside of Hollywood by documenting a moment in time (1965-67), when an inquisitive trust in the unknown was paramount, hope for the future was tangible and life was worth living on the fringe. An interior monologue narrative approach is used throughout the film, where each principal person shown not only decided on what they wanted to be filmed doing, but also narrated their own scenes. The film opens with Gypsy Boots (the original hippie vegan - desert hopping blender salesman), and stripper Jennie Lee, working out 'Watusi-style' beneath the 'Hollywood' sign -- leading into the 'sustainable community' insight of Lewis Beach Marvin III, the S&H Green Stamp heir, who lived in a $10 a month garage while owning a mountain retreat in Malibu.
