“Beyond the Valley of the Dolls seems more and more like a movie that got made by accident when the lunatics took over the asylum… An independent X-rated filmmaker (Russ Meyer) and an inexperienced screenwriter (Roger Ebert) were brought into a major studio and given carte blanche to turn out a satire of one of the studio’s own hits. And “BVD” was made at a time when the studio’s own fortunes were so low that the movie was seen almost fatalistically, as a gamble that none of the studio executives really wanted to think about, so that there was a minimum of supervision (or even cognizance) from the Front Office.” — Roger Ebert
