A woman with an unusual birth defect comes to a doctor who has an unorthodox solution to make the best of her situation. Bubble-brained Candy Christian travels to Hollywood to make it big and instead gets taken under the wing of a sleazy 'talent agent' bent on exploiting her for his own personal gain. Durant pays a couple of studs to look after his nubile and amorous young daughter Christine for several days so he can cheat on his vacationing wife with his mistress. Something Weird revived this ancient porn effort on Vol. I tried making some sense of this non-story, but failed.
Carol Connors, Tony Fields, Melody Marie. What is likable about this garbage is an anonymous actress (IMDb calls her Lynn Nelson) as Betty. I would love to see her in a decently made film, but alas, we have COUSIN BETTY instead. Cousin Bette is a poor and lonely seamstress, who, after the death of her prominent and wealthy sister, tries to ingratiate herself into lives of her brother-in-law, Baron Hulot, and her Jessica Lange, Elisabeth Shue, Bob Hoskins. Cousin Bette is a poor and lonely seamstress.
Most mainstream films have continuity errors, sometimes funny ones, but the deranged or retarded anonymous filmmakers here confuse the order of footage, the identity and relationships of the non-characters and other simple matters in confounding fashion. Opening scene has the top-heavy Carol Connors in bed with a guy who runs off to work before finishing his servicing of her the beast! We presume he's her husband, but wrongo!
Or maybe he is -since the film doesn't make any sense in either logical interpretation of what transpires. Carol's neighbor Marie stops in "for some coffee" but gets a lesbian sex scene instead. A guy named Mike joins them for some troilism action, and I thought he was Marie's hubby. So who was the first guy? At this point, the doorbell rings and Carol claims it might be Cousin Betty -she's psychic since this is a surprise visit from the soft-spoken lass from Montana.
Two southerners break out of jail looking for trouble: A revenge drama, with Lange's Bette pulling the strings. John Quentin as Elderly Aristocrat. After writing a series of potboiler novels in the s, he published his first book under his own name, Les Chouans "The Chouans" , in Balzac was a legitimist favoring the House of Bourbon , and idolized Napoleon Bonaparte as a paragon of effective absolutist power. Which book should I begin reading first? A young Midwestern belle goes on a sexual odyssey after losing her virginity to a gardener.
Carol joins Betty in the shower for another lesbian scene, and the mystery man comes home from work and has sex with Betty. Betty joins them after admitting to balling "20 cousins" back in Montana: The abbreviated print preserved for posterity by Something Weird ends abruptly mid-orgy.
Whose husband is whose? That is the burning question raised by this empty little slice of life.
The liner notes from the SWV shill predictably confuse matters further, calling the first mystery guy Mike, when clearly during the course of the film it is he who calls the other guy Mike. Except for the brief moments of "Lynn Nelson" displaying her amazing beauty, plus the chance to see Connors again, this is worthless junk.

Bette returns to her humble apartment and continues her meager living as the costume maker for a Burlesque theater, where she becomes friends with the headliner of the show: Bette dotes on Wenceslas, giving him money, attention, and guidance.
Under Bette's controlling eye, the lackadaisical young artist grows more successful and productive. Finding joy in her new companion, Bette tells her niece, Hortense, of her "sweetheart" Wenceslas and of her happiness. Hortense, parched from a steady stream of ugly, dull, but wealthy, suitors, is intrigued by her aunt's romantic stories of the handsome artist who happens to be a lord and decides to hunt him down in secret and steal him away from her aunt for an affair. Preferring youth and beauty, the pair marry and Wenceslas accepts a prestigious art commission that would guarantee his major debut--if successful.
Bette views the theft of Wenceslas, whom she loved, as the final betrayal and vows revenge.
Enlisting the aid of Jenny, Bette begins to manipulate the Hulot family into succumbing to their baser desires and court their own demises. One after the other, they fall into ruin under Bette's subtle guidance. Baron Hulot suffers a debilitating stroke, Hortense finds herself in prison, Bette's nephew, Victoren, flees for his life from loan sharks, Wenceslas is left a dead mockery of an artist, and the family name is in shamed and impoverished tatters. Bette ends the film successful and triumphant.
Bette has amassed a small fortune and is now in control of the Hulot family's infant heir, whom she will raise as her own to be a great artist who returns her love. Jessica Lange received strong praise for her performance. Stephen Holden of the New York Times referred to the film as "it feels as rushed, overstuffed and devoid of texture".
