A dressmaker, actor and puppeteer, Milligan cranked out titles like&nbsp;<em>Bloodthirsty Butchers</em>, <em>The Body Beneath</em>, and <em>The Rats are Coming! The Werewolves are Here!</em> on threadbare budgets. Due to their many limitations, his movies made Milligan the laughing-stock of the film industry. McDonough changed all that by providing the necessary context and pathos, allowing these chaotic yet highly personal movies (and their creator) to be seen in a new and sympathetic light.</p> <p>The book also serves as a history of the shadowy New York City sexploitation business, 1950s/60s cafe culture and Off-Off Broadway theatre. Starring a cast of unforgettable and elusive characters, the gripping narrative turns grimly personal. It&rsquo;s told with unflinching honesty by biographer and journalist Jimmy McDonough.&nbsp;[publisher's note]</p> [richtext] => 1 [template] => 5 [menuindex] => 6608 [searchable] => 1 [cacheable] => 1 [createdby] => 16 [createdon] => 1612536724 [editedby] => 16 [editedon] => 1640688229 [deleted] => 0 [deletedon] => 0 [deletedby] => 0 [publishedon] => 1612536780 [publishedby] => 16 [menutitle] => [donthit] => 0 [privateweb] => 0 [privatemgr] => 0 [content_dispo] => 0 [hidemenu] => 0 [class_key] => msProduct [context_key] => web [content_type] => 1 [uri] => the-ghastly-one.-the-42nd-street-netherworld-of-director-andy-milligan.html [uri_override] => 0 [hide_children_in_tree] => 0 [show_in_tree] => 0 [properties] => [article] => [price] => 90 [old_price] => 0 [weight] => 0 [image] => [thumb] => [vendor] => 0 [made_in] => [new] => 0 [popular] => 0 [favorite] => 0 [tags] => Array ( [0] => ) [color] => Array ( [0] => ) [size] => Array ( [0] => ) [source] => 2 [vendor.name] => [vendor.resource] => [vendor.country] => [vendor.logo] => [vendor.address] => [vendor.phone] => [vendor.fax] => [vendor.email] => [vendor.description] => [vendor.properties] => [author] => MCDONOUGH, Jimmy [booksAvailable] => 0 [category] => Biographies,Film & Video,Counterculture,Scenes [publisher] => Fab Press [releaseDate] => 2020 [idx] => 3 )
