The Normandy Landing, by film-maker Russ Meyer:

Russ Meyer had been a film-maker ever since his youth when his mother sold her wedding ring and 
bought him a film-camera. He won many amateur contests and later became a combat film-maker during 
WWII.

He met Ernest Hemingway in Paris and reportedly lost his virginity to a French prostitute (which 
Hemingway paid for).

After WWII, Meyer worked for Playboy Magazine and eventually started making his own movies. He 
invented the words "softcore" and "hardcore", and was a legend within the film-making business. He 
pioneered the use of "sex and violence" in his movies, using it create social commentary about war, 
drugs, sex and american life.

His most famous movie is "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!". His movies themselves have become quite 
iconic with other directors copying his style of "sex and violence". For example, Quentin Tarantino's 
movies "Kill Bill" (Volume 1 & 2) are based on "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!".

Russ Meyer died in 2004.
