Skinopsis

The world's first supermodel, Betty Page along with a plethora of weird and wild acts like France's own Lili St. Cyr who furthers the argument that the French are backwards by stripping in reverse - coming out half-naked and then actually putting her clothes on (?!) Luckily, if you lack the style and sophistication of a nation of Jerry Lewis fanatics then you can simply watch her bits in rewind. Other performances include some can-can girls and a transvestite that could very well give you nightmares. There isn't any real nudity, but the title is Varietease and not "Varietits," so there you have it.
