Hollywood Boulevard (1976)

It's title a direct play on the better known Hollywood satire 'Sunset Blvd', 'Hollywood Boulevard' is a magnum opus of exploration film, a Roger Corman production that is a meta satire on other Roger Corman productions. Produced by Corman's New World Pictures and co-directed by Allan Arkush and Joe Dante, it's the story of a young women Candy Wednesday (the late Candice Rialson) who arrives in L.A. with the dream of breaking into pictures, she breaks into B-pictures and then watches as friends are bumped off by a serial killer stalking young starlets. The plot though is not all that important, its a excuse to stitch together re-used scenes from other Corman movies as supposedly the films Candy is making. Dick Miller of course is in this, he plays Candy's agent. Not always in the best taste it's still a treat if your versed in the world of Corman. A guilty pleasure, and intended to be so. **1/2
