Roger Ebert [SEP] Writing
In addition to film, Ebert would occasionally write about other topics for the "Sun-Times", such as music; In 1970, Ebert wrote the first published concert review of singer-songwriter John Prine, who at the time was working as a mailman and performing at Chicago folk clubs. Ebert co-wrote the screenplay for the Russ Meyer film "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" (1970) and sometimes joked about being responsible for the film, which was poorly received on its release yet has become a cult film. Ebert and Meyer also made "Up!" (1976), "Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens" (1979), and other films, and were involved in the ill-fated Sex Pistols movie "Who Killed Bambi?" (In April 2010, Ebert posted his screenplay of "Who Killed Bambi?", aka "Anarchy in the UK", on his blog.) Beginning in 1968, Ebert worked for the University of Chicago as an adjunct lecturer, teaching a night class on film at the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies.
