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.
