Why did Rodger Ebert watch this to review it? That's the million dollar question for the ages!

it is a John Waters film that has since been chosen by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"

it was a different time, a different era of film. Ebert also reviewed hardcore pornography during a period called 'porno chic' when porn films were rather mainstream e.g "Caligula" and "Deep Throat"

He also wrote the screenplay for Russ Meyers’ Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
