An idiot, alcoholic rapist with a sadistic sex drive, a voluptuous abused wife, a twisted hellfire preacher, a mute prostitute and her dwarf sister are just some of the lurid and grotesque characters in STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD, a violent blast of pulp southern gothic. First published in 1958, STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD was filmed under the title MUDHONEY by Russ Meyer in 1965, resulting in an early classic of the “roughie” genre.
