Taglines: …For those who measure success only in the hours before the morning light!

Good Morning… and Goodbye! movie storyline. Because of his age, Burt, a wealthy farmer, is unable to satisfy the prodigious sexual needs of his wife, Angel. The flamboyant affair Angel is having with Stone, a young construction worker–not to mention her wanton behavior with other men–embitters Burt and humiliates Lana, his 17-year-old daughter by a previous marriage. Lana resolves to gain revenge on her easily-cowed father by flinging herself on the good-looking Ray.

But, because Ray is also intrigued by the voluptuous Angel, Lana ends up in the arms of the sex-hungry Stone. Then Burt meets a strange forest sorceress, who revives his long-dormant sexual drive. After he demonstrates his rejuvenated state to Angel, she promptly agrees to end her extramarital activities. Lana, who has been humiliated by Stone’s brutal assault, comes home a reformed girl and again takes up with Ray. Stone, however, pays for his monomaniacal sexuality by being brutally beaten by the cuckolded husband of one of his earlier conquests.

Good Morning and… Goodbye! is a 1967 American exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer. It features Alaina Capri, Karen Ciral, as well as Meyer regular Jack Moran, who co-wrote the script. Other starring are Stuart Lancaster, Patrick Wright, Haji, Don Johnson, Tom Howland, Megan Timothy, Toby Adler, Sylvia Tedemar, Joe Perrin, Cara Peters.

The cast included regular Meyer actress, Haji, who recalled: I did all my own costuming. I got up hours ahead of time to put those costumes together. I would just go out with a big bag and collect rose petals! I was late one morning for breakfast, and Russ — he would sit at the head of the table — he said, “Where were you?!” I shook the bag and said, “I was in the woods cutting down my costume!” I’d tape rose petals in my hair, on my breasts, and between my legs, and that would be my costume. I glued dead bugs on my cheeks and put green sticks and moss in my hair.
