Vixen!

Vixen! is a 1968 satiric softcore sexploitation film directed by American motion picture director Russ Meyer. It was the first film to be given an X rating for its sex scenes, and was a breakthrough success for Meyer. The film was developed from a script by Meyer and Anthony James Ryan, and starred Erica Gavin.

The film concerns the misadventures of the oversexed Vixen (Gavin), as she sexually manipulates everyone she meets. The story's taboo-violations mount quickly, including themes of incest and racism.

Plot

In the heart of the Canadian wilderness, sultry and sexually assertive Vixen quickly becomes bored when her husband Tom, wilderness guide/pilot (Garth Pillsbury) leaves for the mountains. The hyper sexual Vixen vents her frustration by attempting to seduce anyone within reach including a couple her husband bring home as clients (separately), a Mountie, and eventually her own brother (Jon Evans).

The film finally veers into political satire as Vixen's racism and the creeping threat of communism are discussed at length among the characters as the film draws to its end. At the end of the film her husband brings another couple home and Vixen smiles, apparently planning to seduce them.

Track listing

Hard (surname)

Hard is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:

Hardcourt

A hardcourt (or hard court) is a surface or floor on which a sport is played, most usually in reference to tennis courts. They are typically made of rigid materials such as asphalt or concrete, and covered with acrylic material to seal the surface and mark the playing lines, while providing some cushioning. Historically, hardwood surfaces were also in use in indoor settings, similar to an indoor basketball court, but these are now rare.

Tennis

Tennis hard courts are made of synthetic/acrylic layers on top of a concrete or asphalt foundation and can vary in color. These courts tend to play medium-fast to fast because there is little energy absorption by the court, like in grass courts. The ball tends to bounce high and players are able to apply many types of spin during play. Flat balls are favored on hard courts because of the extremely quick play style. Speed of rebound after tennis balls bounce on hard courts is determined by how much sand is in the synthetic/acrylic layer placed on top of the asphalt foundation. More sand will result in a slower bounce due to more friction.

Hard, Austria

Hard is a town in the westernmost Austrian state of Vorarlberg, directly on Lake Constance. Hard's attractions include the Strandbad and the Grünerdamm. Hard is also famous for the skatepark.

An honorary consulate of Brazil is located in Hard.
