PEEK-A-BOO / B-GIRL RHAPSODY BLU-RAY

Kino Classics + Something Weird Present Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture Volume 12: PEEK-A-BOO and B-GIRL RHAPSODY!

Burlesk as You Like It! A delectable vision of undraped loveliness! From the era of pasties and g-strings come a bevy of burlesque beauties performing their signature striptease acts, accompanied by an irreverent gang of baggy-pants comedians, testing the boundaries of what was morally permissible on the mid-century movie screen. Burlesque impresario LILLIAN HUNT directed both PEEK-A-BOO (1953) and B-GIRL RHAPSODY (1952) in a style that preserves the theatrical experience, never allowing the viewer to cross the footlights, never affording the audience too close a view. The results are two time capsules that offer priceless front-row views of old-school bump and grind (shot on location at Louis Sonney's New Follies Theater in Los Angeles), a treat for old and new Burlesque fans alike! Restored with cooperation of the Burlesque Hall of Fame.
