Decter Arkoff's Mondo Movie Review:

This Something Weird Video release features 2 "Adults only" movies from the 50's plus several strip tease featurettes. All would be considered "R" rated by today's standards. Both features are basically examples of what you would have seen at a Burlesque show in the 40's and early 50's. Made up mostly of one after the other, girls dancing around looking like they will expose more than they ever do. What makes these movies worth watching is not the endless parade of women spinning around. It also captures the roots of comedy routines like "Who's On First?". The Burlesque stage was the training ground of up-and-coming comedy teams like Abbott & Costello. All of the comedians in these movies are now long forgotten (for good reason) but are fun to watch as they attempt to entertain in-between the stripers.

The quality of 16mm film to video transfers are not bad considering the rarity of such movies. Unlike films that were shown on TV or made for rental libraries, only a few prints were ever struck of adult road show movies and they saw a lot of use.
