Treasure: I bet you thought my name was Treasure, huh? Treasure Evans. Just like the rest of the world thought. My fans; my public. Bet you thought that there were my parents, looking down at this cuddly little baby and saying "Ah, isn't she a treasure?" Why don't we call her that? No, that ain't the way it happened.
Treasure: [she continues] No, there I was on my lovely, little sixteen year old backside. Or was I on my belly? I really don't remember. Well, anyway, right side up or upside down, there I was, stretched out on the casting couch. Oh, yeah - they had casting couches.
Treasure: [she continues] And there was this fat, ugly, old producer. Well, he was important, I don't know, he was more than a producer, he was like a studio head. And he says to me: "Mary" - my real name, Mary - at any rate there he is looking down at me and drooling, and he says "Mary, you're a treasure".
Treasure: [she continues] Well, not long after that I became a star. Big house in Beverly Hills. I had a swimming pool; three pictures a year to do; jewellery; oh, good jewellery. And telephones - telephones everywhere. Ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. "Hello, hello" - my telephone voice - "Hello, this is Treasure Evans".

Dennis Hopper plays Chicken, a burned out drug addict with the manic personality of Dennis Hopper. Chicken keeps seeing his mother everywhere and has all sorts of crazy crap going on in his head. Carroll Baker plays a washed-up actress whom we first see having a pee into the sea after a drunken night out. She keeps waiting for a call to go back to Hollywood. Some other guy plays an ex-RAF officer waiting out his days getting drunk with his wife. Oh, and then there's the middle-aged gay guy firing out snide remarks left right and centre.
We get to see this lot living some sort of budget-level Fellini type lifestyle almost independent of the locals. The hippies seems to spark of some sort of killing spree by someone, but don't be fooled into thinking you're going to get any resolution from this one because while there are a few bloody murders, we never really get to find out who did them. Or why, for that matter. It's all very arty and surreal.
What makes it watchable is Dennis Hopper being insane and Carroll Baker trying to outdo him by being the same. In fact, I've never seen Baker more animated. She even lets out a blood curdling scream at a dinner table when she isn't the centre of attention. Her character is continually on the move while reminiscing about past times (she even relates an encounter which sounds exactly like something Harvey Weinstein would do!) while getting progressively more drunk and depressed.
What's it all about though? No idea. There's some gory deaths here (including a kid being crushed and a nasty impalement up the jacksy for one character) but...can't help with any explanations.
