1978 - Classic Cinema / "The Rich White Trash"

Trash triple feature from the depressing Jimmy Carter age of stagflation. Leading the bill is "The Rich White Trash". Called by European critics: "Perverted", "Wanton", "Degenerate" Could not find anything about it.; searches led to the various other "Poor White Trash" movies.

 

Illustration for second feature "Tomcats" features 3 rednecks in a pick up truck, a tomcat, and a slender young woman bending over. Probably too subtle for the intended audience. "They're free, white and twenty-one and don't give a damn about anyone!"

 

The third feature is a Bruce Lee kung fu ripoff,

 

Page 66 of the October 20, 1978 issue of The New York Post. Not a very wide release -- but being shown at the Selwyn 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenue -- the notorious "Block" at the time the world center for drugs, porn, and prostitution.
