Movies Unlimited RM Ad Featuring Supervixens

Established in 1978, Movies Unlimited is the world’s oldest video mail-order company. Many of Russ’ films found their biggest success on home video formats, many of them distributed by mail order. (14x11)

We first saw Russ Meyer’s office in Episode 5 of Jonathan Ross’ INCREDIBLY STRANGE FILM SHOW as wide-eyed youngsters in 1988 (and now included as a Special Feature on our UHD/Blu of SUPERVIXENS), and Ross’ wonder at the walls of memorabilia was tangible.

So was ours. 

Fast-forward 35+ years: when The Russ Meyer Trust invited us to tour his home, our sense of awe was through the roof as we gazed firsthand upon the plaques that still remained — trade ads, foreign posters, repertory cinema calendars, original photos, VHS wraps, press books and much more — all of them once upon a time selected and hung on his walls by Russ Meyer. It was a living museum and a laminated legacy, as vivid and real as the man himself.

Despite dozens of inquiries, The Russ Meyer Trust declined to share these items with major auction houses. Instead they’ve chosen to have Severin Films auction these plaques directly to Russ’ fans.

These are Russ Meyer’s personal mementos. And now they can be yours.

All plaques are wood and a depth of about a half an inch unless otherwise noted.
