A Great Fucking Movie

Statement by Roger Ebert, read by Chaz Ebert a couple of days ago (September 1) at a 20th Century-Fox 75th anniversary event: a screening of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, co-written by director Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert:

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls has survived the test of the years, and is one of the most frequently-revived films of its time. It was one of a kind. My congratulations to Dolly, Harrison, and John. I do not believe in dreams, but Russ appeared in one of mine last night and dictated this message:

Quote, “I was deeply offended when Fox ignored BVD in its 50th anniversary book. It’s about time those bastards acknowledged that we made a great fucking movie.”

    I think he meant that he does not believe in the reality of dream apparitions from beyond the grave.
