Behind The Burly Q - 2010 - 7/10
Ba da bing! Va va voom!
Documentary about the heyday of burlesque. Era of strip tease, before shaved and pierced became de rigueur.
Mostly interviews, remembrances. Alan Alda spoke of his father, a burlesque comedian.
Dozens of stories from still living performers (many died soon after filming). Fabulous photos.
Hard to wrap my mind over the notion of daily matinée shows. Talk about happy hour.
