Through dozens of priceless stills, vintage footage and recent interviews, Behind the Burly Q (as a documentary) tells the revealing story of "Burlesque" at the absolute height of its vast popularity in the USA during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s._____ Not only was Burlesque a perfect venue for aspiring glamor girls (as "exotic dancers") to entertain their cheering audiences with a little raunchy striptease (ooh-la-la!), but it also offered a great opportunity for budding, young comedians and novelty acts to perform on stage and get the sort of exposure needed to help further their careers._____ Gaudy, bawdy and spectacular, Behind The Burly Q gives the viewer a titilatingly spicy (and sometimes funny) slice of by-gone American entertainment that has often been misunderstood and even omitted from books on 20th Century historical culture._____ FYI - Yes. This DVD does contain nudity.
