pretty lame
Rec'd as a gag gift and will get even with donor later. This is a compilation set of one to eight minute (or so) long snippets of burlesque (sp) shorts. Dated from the early 20's to the 50's judging by the setting. Twenties type jazz plays over some tough looking broads shaking and prancing until they are topless...at least, most of them. No full nudity. I assume that these are transfers from old 8mm loops shown at the smokers I heard about as a kid. No wonder my dad wouldn't go to them. Has some interest in that it shows the changing standard of beauty. Some of these ladies look like they've had a really hard life. Most are, how to say this politely, not svelte. Really tame by today's standards and user will see more flesh in almost any R rated movies! THis is the type of material that is watched once, with expectations that are not met and then never watched again. It is also one of those things which is more interesting to talk about (or snark about) than actually watching. The one star for for historical interest. I am wondering where I can donate this.
