Two Tons of Turquoise to Taos Tonight (1975)

Directed by Robert Downey
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Criterion Eclipse)

Elsie Downey, the director's wife, has over 20 different roles in a series of unrelated sketches, none of them particularly memorable. Gone is the biting satire which was the hallmark of Downey's output in the 60s, reaching its zenith in Putney Swope and Greaser's Palace. Instead, this seems like a vanity project for Mrs. Downey.
