Lines: 15 I, too, have seen John and Bo's claim that "Hey, it's just a piece of fluff." In my opinion, though, the fact that they didn't mean it seriously is no excuse for incredible incompetence and stupidity. In fact, I think that the Dereks' claims have only been made in light of their discovery of what an atrocity their film really is. I was perfectly willing to accept something other than high grade erotica from "Bolero", but it gave me absolutely nothing. In my opinion, the rotten lines were rotten, not a clever attempt at camp, and the inept acting was inept, not tongue in cheek. The only enjoyment I got out of this film was by contemplating that, if there is any justice, John Derek will never direct again. -- Peter Reiher reiher@ucla-cs.arpa {...ihnp4,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!ucla-cs!reiher
