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 STREETSâ€PAVEDâ€WITHâ€GOLD, a violent blastâ€of pulp southern gothic. First published in 1958, STREETSâ€PAVEDâ€WITHâ€GOLDâ€was filmed under the title MUDHONEY by Russ Meyer in 1965, resulting in an early classic of the “roughie†genre.
