Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A low budget sex movie about the making of a low budget sex movie. The 'Hollywood looks at Hollywood' formula has been adapted in an appropriately basic way and the humour relentlessly excavates every cliché. The producer grinds his teeth on an everlasting cigar over every item of expenditure, while his disconsolate director is ever eager to find an artistic angle, even when ordered to 'get a close-up of Maria's joggling, roly-poly charms. The three girls have, however, some genuine charm of their own and there is something horribly apt about the film-within-a-film they turn out – an ultimate in primitive nudie pics that looks like a titillating interlude from The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film [1959]."[2]
