Have you seen a good retrospective of his career online? I have many of his films on vhs and hope to get a select few on dvd. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill are classics. All his "Vixen" titles are excellent examples of sexploitation.

However, if you've found humor in the "white trash"/Southern Grotesque novels of Erskine Caldwell (Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre) and William Faulkner (As I Lay Dying, etc.) you might find Russ' film "Mudhoney" amusing.
