LET’S GET PHYSICAL: TEASERAMA (1955) ***

FORMAT:  BLU-RAY (REWATCH)

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

(As posted on July 17th, 2007)

Teaserama is better than producer Irving Klaw's previous Varietease because it features more Bettie Page. Tempest Storm is the star of this filmed Burlesque show, but Page steals the movie. Both Page and Storm do two dance numbers apiece. Like in Varietease, Bettie dances in the first segment, but she also appears in between acts to hold title cards up for the other dancers. In the movie's sexiest scene, she dresses up in a sexy maid outfit and helps Storm get ready for the show by dressing her and combing her hair. The color photography is once again excellent. There's no nudity, but at least the dancers show off more than they did in Varietease. Also starring female impersonator Vickie Lynn (also in Varietease with Page) and comedians Dave Starr and Joe E. Ross (from Car 54 Where Are You?) and some footage from Varietease is re-used.
