Peeping behind the curtain seems a little inappropriate in the world of Burlesque, but this is a charming introduction the art form. Go to Full Review

02/01/2015 A well made film about the world of Burlesque. Some of the turns linger on a little long and dont really work on a small screen and you dont really get to know alot more than we know already but its interesting enough See more 08/08/2011 This was on HBO or Showtime recently allowing a Peep Show Peep through the Feather Curtain(so to speak), it's really quite a beautiful Art Form.Immodesty Blaze(Name inspired after one of my favorite Cult Spy Spoof Flicks~Modesty Blaize) is in my opinion more Beautiful & Glam than Dita Von Teese.Yes, it's unapologetically Sensual, but in a Elegant, Yesteryear Sort of Way that harkens back to the tease of Gypsy Rose Lee that leaves something to the imagination. Rather than being Vulgar,it's Soft & Feminine & not offensive to Women.Lovely to Look at, Splendiferous! Immodesty Blaise & friends let you peek behind the Tabu, into their world , they can also can be friended on Facebook See more 12/30/2010 A tad sycophantic (the producer is the main star after all) and it lacks any real insight beyond the visual, but it is fairly entertaining look at Burlesque. See more 12/16/2010 Pretty much what you'd expect. Great acting? Uh...no. Big show biz visuals amd music, yes. Glad I went to see but would only recommend to big time Cher and Christina fans. See more 11/05/2010 Hmmmm. Not great. A documentary about burlesque and the history of burlesque. Saved by some Immodesty Blaize performances See more 06/08/2010 Such a well done documentary! A REAL BURLESQUE MOVIE!!!!!!! See more Read all reviews
