Vixen! is a 1968 satiric melodrama sexploitation film directed by cult filmmaker Russ Meyer from a script by Meyer and Anthony James Ryan, and starring Erica Gavin. The story concerns the misadventures of the oversexed, rage-filled Vixen (Gavin), as she sexually manipulates everyone she meets, until she is nearly destroyed by the story's mounting taboo-violation, including incest, racism, and violence.

[edit] Plot

In the heart of the Canadian wilderness, sultry and forceful Vixen becomes bored with her bush pilot husband Tom (Garth Pillsbury). The nymphomaniacal Vixen vents her frustration by trying to bed everyone in sight, including the Mounted Police and eventually her own brother (Jon Evans). The film veers into surprising political satire as Vixen's own racism and the creeping threat of Communist revolutionaries threaten the fabric of the Canadian way of life.
