While the Carry Ons, Confessions films et al are worthy only of pitying derision, the true film buff can find much to applaud in any Russ Meyer film. No need to explain why! ‘Ah, but though eighty percent of his oeuvre is undeniably formulaic pap, is he not Hollywood’s only true auteur?’ See LUCAS, George. Always mention the fact that Roger Ebert wrote the script for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, then retire, considering your point made. Jonathan Ross writes: ‘I wuvved it!’
