Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
We can safely call it one of the most notorious films in Hollywood history: Myra Breckenridge, the wild, tasteless, legendary disaster. Sprung from a novel by Gore Vidal, Myra tells the tender tale of a man (damply played by film critic Rex Reed) who has a sex-change operation and goes to Hollywood as a woman--played by Raquel Welch. Mae West creaked out of retirement to play a man-hungry agent (one of her meals is young Tom Selleck), and John Huston is an aging cowboy star, Myra's nemesis. To say the movie endorses the destruction of sex roles in modern society would be giving the rampant incoherence too much credit. Old film clips, plus footage (all too apt!) of atomic bomb tests are spliced into the action, to puerile effect. Almost everybody involved with the film disowned it, especially a horrified Vidal. Is there a cult for this movie? They can have it. --Robert Horton

Any movie where Mae West Sings and doesn't act her age is fine in my book! A MUST! Myron Breckinridge is waiting for his sex-change operation while a stoned surgeon stumbles into the operating room. Before the drugged doctor begins Myron's operation, he counsels him. Myron persists and the doctor goes through with it. An enthusiastic audience observing the operation applauds the medical achievement and rises in a standing ovation. After the operation, Myron arrives in Hollywood as Myra while in the ... Read More

Kind of quirky, but in all a nice movie, great cast Mae West,a young Tom Selleck and Farrah Fawcett,Raquel Welch it's not the greatest of movies made but it kind of pokes fun at the subject of transgender. I like it. No harm intended in the movie it'just for fun. Mae West and Raquel Welch are both stunning as always.

Bad Bad Bad! This picture opened in theaters June 24 1970, starring John Houston as Buck Loner, Raquel Welch as Myra Breckinridge, and Rex Reed as Myron. Myron wants to have a sex change operation and he's waiting in the operation room for his doctor. Right before he does the surgery he councils Myron not to have the surgery but Myron sticks to his guns. That's when Raquel Welch enters the picture as Myra Brecknridge. That's when John Houston enters the picture as Buck Loner. Loner runs and acting school ... Read More

I wonder how many people so quick to call this the desecration of a great novel actually read the book. As film adaptations of novels go, it's actually quite faithful to the material (except for its abstruse, cop-out non-ending, and the omission of a catfight between Myra and Letitia). Trashy movie? Okay, but so was the book.
Since the whole point of the book was to satirize sleazy, depraved 1960s Hollywood, cheerfully devoid of ethics or morals, where even low-budget "B" movies of yesteryear ... Read More

i have been walking past this movie for years in the video store and passed it up as many times... except this last time.
of course raquel is a steammy dream in her flashy and skimpy get-ups [a bonus] but the story is equally as fun to watch unfold. since i don't like to give away too much on a review, i will leave you with a few tidbits to ponder:
1] watch it for the cast (raquel welch, farrah fawcett, rex reed, mae west, tom sellek, etc.)
2] stay for the mildly eyebrow-raising plot.
