Review of Striporama

Striporama (1953)
7/10
A real historical document of Burlesque
2 January 2001
Ah the fifties--the waning days of burlesque. Men were so horny they were willing to put up with anything--including lame comedians in order to watch women walk around in marginally erotic outfits and sometimes strip.

These ecdysiasts are consummate artists, and Lili St.Cyr is at her loveliest, in this loving tribute to burlesque. This film is a real time capsule of a "lost" art form.

Betty Page has only a small marginal role in this one and she is no where near the class act of the other "professionals"

Be sure to watch Rosita Royce and her amazing birds!
