MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Michael_Elliott Teaserama (1955) ** (out of 4)The infamous Irvin Klaw produced and directed this burlesque show, which shows off a variety of dancers with the highlights being Bette Page and Tempest Storm. Page also hosts the ladies as she will walk out on a stage with the upcoming performer's name on a card.TEASERAMA is going to mainly appeal to fans of burlesque who like to see this type of dancing. I'm not going to lie but this type of thing was never one of my favorites, although I will say that there's some appeal here as this is presented like an actual show so we get the girls dancing and in between their acts we get some comic routines.The comic routines are downright horrible and you have to wonder why any show would even bother with them. They're among the worst bits of comedy that you'll ever see and I doubt too many people were happy to see them. As far as the girls go, they're certainly very attractive and if you enjoy this type of dancing they will be worth your while.Of course, the main attraction here is Page and while she was a horrible dancer there's no question that she contained a certain magic that just made it impossible to take your eyes off of her. She's very flirtatious with the camera and this certain leaps off the screen and right at the viewer.

Woodyanders Made up of nothing more than a variety of acts featuring a nifty assortment of attractive dancers and a few painfully unfunny comedian making lots of terrible cornball jokes, this Irving Klaw production nicely captures the infectious let's put on a show enthusiasm of burlesque. The legendary Bettie Page might not be much of a dancer, but she flirts well with the camera, handles her hostess chores with perky aplomb, and looks quite sweet and yummy throughout. Tempest Storm's enormous breasts and hourglass figure are enough to turn any red-blooded all-American male's knees to jello. Cute redhead Chris LaChris does a peppy number, voluptuous Cherrie Knight performs a sultry routine, the duo of Peppe and Roccio impress with their lively flamenco moves, and limber blonde Twinnie Walden practically steals the whole show thanks to her astonishing flexibility (her cartwheels are especially something to behold!). Ironically, female impersonator Vicki Lynn is the only performer to go completely topless. Dave Starr and Joe E. Ross are also along for the ride telling excruciatingly bad jokes, but fortunately the bevy of beautiful women on display more than compensates for their lame antics. Entertaining stuff.

Tom DeFelice This film is bad even by 1955's standards. Sexy, it isn't. Even by the lowest rent version of Burlesque, it is a mess. The "Top Banana" has the unfortunate problem of not being funny. Not even with the "take my wife, please" joke. Production values are non-existent. With one exception, the women are...well, you judge for yourself. As for the stripping? You will see more skin on a Cape Cod beach in January than is displayed here.There is nothing wrong with being tacky. But this is just incredibly boring. One dance goes on for seven minutes and is not one-hundredth as sexy as Rita Hayworth's dance in "Gilda".The one glimmer of light in the entire film is 1950's icon Bettie Page. Bettie has two dance numbers. Neither of which are very good. She also introduces each act with it's own title card. It is here that she shines. There is a freshness, a sexy naughty girl-next-door quality that she lends to these all to brief moments.If you are a BIG Bettie Page fan and have a fast forward button then rent this. Otherwise, for your own safety, stay a way from this film at all costs.

Paul-116 This is horribly dated piffle. It doesn't have a plot and it's completely tedious. The wonderful Betty Page is wasted in one of the worst movies of all time.
