'Myra Breckinridge'
The way we see it, if you work hard all week you deserve a little fun come Friday. So while there are some fine, very serious films playing around town this week, like "The Deer Hunter" at Symphony Space (symphonyspace.org), we're dedicating this column to guilty pleasures.
There's none guiltier than 1970's "Myra Breckinridge," still one of the most notorious flops ever made. How bad is it? Let's start with the premise: Raquel Welch plays the titular transsexual, who intermittently returns to her old self in the form of Rex Reed. Also on board for embarrassment are Mae West, as a 77-year-old nymphomaniac, an unknown Farrah Fawcett, and Tom Selleck, making his feature debut in the role of "stud." We're issuing an official warning, but you'll find the madness at Anthology (anthologyfilmarchives.org), all weekend long.
