Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Irving Klaw's mail-order film business was investigated by a Senate subcommittee on juvenile delinquency; this 'documentary' format was his attempt at legitimacy.
Bettie Page filmed her segments separately from the dancers; she never performed striptease herself, making her the chaste host of decidedly unchaste proceedings.
