"Probably the most interesting pornographic art film ever shot in Garberville."- Unknown Humboldt local
*
Up!* (1976) is a soft core sex comedy film, shot in Southern Humboldt County and directed by Russ Meyer, where nobody is what they seem and everyone is a suspect. The reclusive Adolf Schwartz, living in hiding in a Bavarian style castle in Northern California, pays for weird pan sexual pleasures performed by a group of prostitutes and later is found murdered in his bath, the victim of a hungry piranha. Who did it? No-one knows or cares, as they're too busy being distracted by busty Margo Winchester, who hitch-hikes into town and gets involved with all the local men. It all ends with a series of complicated plot twists helpfully explained by a one-woman nude Greek chorus who pops up at intervals to explain what's going on.
