Kiss Me Baby

About This Movie

Kiss Me Baby is a fascinating blend of comedy and documentary that really captures a moment in time. Directed by Lillian Hunt, the film brings you into the world of striptease and burlesque at the Follies Theatre in Los Angeles. The pacing is laid-back, allowing you to soak in the cheeky performances and the vibrant atmosphere of the 1950s. You can practically feel the buzz of the audience and the glimmer of the stage lights. It's distinctive in how it balances the playful comedy while showcasing the raw talent of the performers. The practical effects, though minimal, contribute to the authenticity, and there’s a certain charm in the way it embraces the era’s risqué entertainment without being so overt about it. Definitely a unique piece for collectors interested in the evolution of performance art on film.
